Political pin cushion
Mixed media.
This is based on a cartoon drawn by Peter Brookes in The Times on 14th April, which has been scanned, printed on to ink jet paper and then transfer printed using Acrylic Gloss Medium on to calico. I have then further enhanced the image by overpainting it with pigment paint.
The pin cushion is decorated with various scraps of fabric from other projects and finished with two buttons.
As with all my political pieces this is not a personal view of a politician, or policies, but a snap shot of what the media are reporting at the time. I chose this image as Mr Cameron looked suitably terrified at the prospect of having pins stuck in him!
