"Untitled" (2003). A spotlit pair of glitter encrusted skulls turn alongside one another in a darkened room. These memento mori mirrorballs rotate at a constant 4rpm. 'Untitled' - often the refuge of the weak and the fey. (NB. 'No Title' has become the current alternative in certain circles with optional epithet in parenthesis).

"Puritan Sympathizer Hedonist Dilettante" (Image below). Wall paintings are chic once more. Two full scale figure paintings made in a disused shop in the now modish East End of Glasgow were shown alongside "The Whale" (2003), a miniature, graffitied cetacean which appears to swallow the tiny artists in a single gulp.
