Reconstructing Archaeopteryx
Watercolour 120 x 240

Watercolour/ink
2000
Is everything getting better? Not really, it’s just the abberative logic linking 'progress' with evolution. This work is a parody of 19/20th century scientific racism with it’s self-regarding claims about 'ideal' euro-skewed facial angles and cranial capacities.
