Artist's Statement
I am a process artist so the result is not a
conclusion but a place on the bank of a creative river
where I chose to pause.
The artwork rejects the decorated surface and slick
finish, the donkeys are chipped, scratched and bear the
traces of service. The donkey is the abused slave of man
and man is a slave to his beliefs and conditioning.
Freed from their burden but still showing the scars,
like us they are beautiful because they are real.
If my donkeys are sold, with the 80% I receive, I
pledge to use all of it for rescuing abused street dogs
and sending them to homes in the UK.
As the donkey was a given, I continue this theme and
invite the purchaser of the small donkey to continue
painting on it thus challenging the concept of
ownership. We are all co-creators in this world.
