grey matter: 'grey matter' installation consists of two large scale drawings (3m x 3.5m each), representing the iconic image of the sheep in contemporary western civilization.

'The content of the work relies on the context in which the spectator understands the sheep. It exists in a bizarre category of paradox, it is everything and it is nothing. The sheep as a common symbol represents an idea of stupidity, or banality, paradoxically in religious terms the sacrificial lamb dies to relieve the sins mankind. This ambiguous context makes the language of the sheep an appropriate monument in this era of superficial materialism.'
