My latest painting, for the series I am working on based around the theme 'Us, Watching'. I wanted to do a piece based around Jeremy Kyle, because one of the most fascinating aspects of us as a watching society is how we are obsessed with watching each in situations that are usually preety groteque. Its the age old theory of shadenfroida put on a modern age media pedastal. I wanted to do a scene which had the elements and dimensions of an illustration plate in a childrens book, to ask a question about how innocent this example of us watching is.
