Pieces I wanted to create in response to the recession.

Tiptoe through the Recession
The artist tiptoes away from chaos, leaving only his trousers, his modesty stripped away.
He too is in a state of disintegration, his body and features disappearing, his patrons have stopped calling, his patrons have stopped buying.
Death of the Bull Market
The artist supports a bulls head which has been stripped bare to the bone, in a state of disintegration. He reaches out for something, someone, some definition as to where he is amongst this chaos. Chaos is depicted by the rattan ball above him, symbolizing the state of the world in a tangled mess .
