Description

In my work I use visual tools to explore our methaphors and allegories in the everyday language games we play. This particular installation, comprised of three artworks, is part of my “Black Sheep Of The Family” series. The artworks invite the viewer to recognise that the ‘black sheep’ is just like any other member of the flock, and it is only the language that keeps us apart.
