Insight

2013
Watercolour on paper
72 X 52 cm

A delighted child presented with a giant fish. 'Insight' presents the problem that we face in curbing our view to using world resources. As children the fish seems enormous and plentiful but behind the child's delight the nets and ocean are empty. The child though is looking forward and the delight and beliefs fostered at a young age are hard to change. The child doesn't question the need for so much fish on their plate, the idea of waste and overindulgence simply doesn't exist for them. The outcome, another generation with rights and wants and to a lesser degree needs.
