About The Artwork
Oil on wooden support mounted in glassless box frame, please note that at an angle you can see the blocks that support the painting. I made this piece in response to finding a stray piece of the bible in the street, as a bit of worn out printed page, it made me think about the ancient tradition of scapegoating, mentioned in the old testament. An animal, usually a goat, would be blamed for human wrong doing and cruelly slain as a sacrifice. This led to the saying we use today and may also be to do with the strange idea that goats are in league with the devil. Made as a painting on the page then stuck to a piece of found wood and also framed with re used frame and wood, I hope this work reminds us of our responsibilities to the other species on this planet.
