'Still Screaming' is a small homage to Edvard Munch’s painting ‘The Scream’. Munch described what inspired this painting: "I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature."
It seemed to me that this predicts the present time when we are ‘still screaming’ – the small tableau's in each section starts with borders and a migrant child in a life jacket, carries on with consumerism, factory chimney and a Prada bag, War, guns, flames, bodies and drawings children make who experience war. In the middle is a Munch figure being comforted by a domestic dog, or cat which many of us now appreciate can bring some calm continuing with global warming, habitat loss and a plastic sea, and the world, at the top.

Life Journey - depicts the beginning and the end of a life, the defensive pods we shroud ourselves in, how we carefully stitch together meaning for ourselves and leave a good or bad trail for others.
