'one for the geordies'
i used to live with a geordie and he introduced me to a certain type/style of language, he 'trained' me up being able to "hadaway and shite", smokey bacon and cocao" with a geordie tilt. this also featured in my 'f series' work as a graphite drawing.
the meanings of "shit," "shat," and "shite" are closely related, as they are all vulgar terms derived from the same old english root meaning to defecate.
the most common meaning refers to faeces or excrement. It can also be used to refer to rubbish, nonsense, or something of very poor quality. in some contexts, it can be an insult for a despicable person.
but to be honest, it's just a lovely way of saying shit
mad as a box of frogs is an eclectic series of original works intricately contained within a defined box frame size. the words and phrases used may resonate with people, situations, or even abstract concepts. the content often weaves together elements of humour and confrontational themes. many pieces creatively manipulate the shape and form of the text itself, drawing the viewer's attention. the artwork explores various themes through a mixed media approach. while the phrase evokes a visual image, it is not meant to be taken literally.
it serves as a figure of speech that reflects the work that excites me and ideally captivates the viewer as well.
