Part of an ongoing inquiry into my relationship to common sense, ethics and appropriate behaviour. What if - as a concientious, well brought up, sensible man - I decided to repeatedly break a law. The ambition of the gesture was also to return each item without the original owner aware it was missing, just long enough for me to repeatedly trace the outlines.
Each item was lit with an anglepoise lamp from three directions, the outlines traced in pencil then filled in as an over lapping three colour separation.
