And so, with the work going up at Modern Art Oxford on Monday and the urgent need to get them framed buzzing about in the back of my head, a decision was made to go with the teddy bears. Although 5 have been made, the 4 square pieces are the ones which will be exhibited, as they work well together as a series. The larger piece will be staying at home, but can still be enjoyed by all as I've included it top left. It made sense to stick with these, as most of the development in my sketchbook had been based around the identikit idea. Also, the artists I had looked at and the research carried out all linked to this body of work. Although I still feel very happy with the way the portraits turned out, they lack the sense of unity which this work has. I also feel the humorous juxtaposition of the imagery will entice the public to look more closely at them. I've certainly had more fun with this work than in anything I've produced in a long time and in comparison the portraits are a little more po-faced perhaps. These are not taking themselves too seriously.
