My first offering on a contemporary theme was inspired a headline in The London Paper. It was about Boris Johnson's punishment plans for criminal teenagers. Being a typical Libran I felt torn between 'about time too' and feeling abject pity for demonised 'hoodies'. Then more people got stabbed this week - more lives wasted - 'about f****** time too' swallowed me whole.

Anyway, here's "Robbing Hoody", robbing from anyone to keep (as opposed to Robin Hood, robbing from the rich to give to the poor) . I wanted him to appear haunted by the hoody, to be surrounded by his ill-gotten gains, and alcohol, and the white line represents the thunder and lightening impact of drugs. On the other hand round the back of the sculpt is a plate of chips & the words 'I'm human' - well tucked away as I think these young peoples' humanity often is.
