Lilliput

Wet clay figures. Dimensions variable
A work made for exhibition specifically referring to the histories and myths of Adelaide. Adelaide is built close to where Swift positioned Lilliput in Gulliver's Travels. It also has a history of conservatism and strange sex crimes involving children. The figures were made from wet clay. During the period of exhibition the figures were disturbed/vandalised by visitors.
