Drawn and Quartered

2010

Digital video, stereo sound, 3 minutes

Drawn and Quartered explores nationalism, clanship, treason and attendant violence through motifs of flag-waving and national dress. A naked, fully painted tartan figure attempts to blend with a skewed-perspective tartan background (the artist’s own ‘clan’), in which a poem is graven. Bound hand and foot, the figure attempts a traditional war dance.
