Alternative Reality

These two pieces are old work from last year. This goes back to the project with the wolf called 'Freedom'.
The painting on the right is the happy reality where freedom is natural and easy. The painting on the left is a development from the piece on the right, and shows the unhappy reality where freedom is difficult and painful to achieve. It could also be looked at as 'the grass is greener on the other side' (right) but then once you're there you realise that where you were before was the right place to be and you just want to get out (left).

Acrylics and chicken wire. The hole in the 'fence' on the right piece has been painted with red acrylic and has tufts of faux fur stuck to the spikes for added effect.
