The introduction of farming resulted in tamed and domesticated animals whose lives are elaborately manipulated by man.
Through the use of oil paint the work attempts to reflect this aspect of manipulation by conveying control through technique and subject; of the animal under human dominance.
The man-made objects of control render the animals into a state of submission and the work and application of paint aim to reflect this authority and challenge the viewer to contemplate the level of human control over an animal’s appearance, breed, movement and even their very behavior" - Artist's statement
