'welcome to the shit show'
upon entering my wonderful world of art, you must be aware that for years i was involved in education, basically one shit show after another. on a more positive note, people love fake poo - it's always a comical element that causes guffaw, especially when spend time hand painting them
this piece sold in london and was remade as a commissioned piece for a wedding gift - the bride and groom chose it, honestly.
welcome to the shit show is a vulgar, informal phrase used to describe a situation that is chaotic, unpleasant, and completely disorganised. saying this to someone is a sarcastic way of welcoming them to a messy or confusing spectacle you decide
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.
