Artist statement:

These HEADS are a bunch of ‘nobodies’ with little social or political clout, resigned to yelling at a world they cannot change. They are an expression of a feeling of nihilism and helplessness – as an artist and a citizen. A mass of anonymous, cartoonish people individually hopeless, perhaps a little more powerful collectively, screaming in unison at who knows what. They could be at the football, a protest, in a choir or on a zoom call, perhaps they’re in Parliament. Maybe it’s a bunch of nobodies screaming into the void.
