 Panel
One
A focus on typical carnivorous images. The cow in the field,
against a backdrop of pasture, but enclosed within a fence. This
cow is destined for the slaughterhouse, but, unaware, is happily
grazing. The hamburger typifies not only meat but meat in its
processed form. People are only too keen to eat hamburgers, as
they don't resemble the animal from which they came; the pasture
cow. The cow appears once more bordering the bloody words of
'You Have A Choice'. Remember where that burger came from. Finally,
the battery hen, in a dark cage with bars stretching to infinity.
A stark contrast to the happy pasture cow, but they will both
share the brunt of the butchers knife.
 Panel
Two
A creatively presented vegetarian meal. First shown as a distortion
to emphasise colour and variation. A detail painting displays
the meal in a realistic style. The meal is ten broken into portions
and displayed in frames. Again emphasis is given to colour with
the most vibrant details expressed. Lastly the meal s broken
into its ingredients and shown within a border flanked by the
word 'Vegetarian'.
 Panel
Three
The third panel is similar to the second in its display and
disection of a vegetarian meal, this time with more of an emphasis
on salad. Begun with a realism style painting of the meal, it
is then broken into its ingredients along with other typical
salad foods within the border. The lower paintings are distortions
of the original painting but focusing on geometric design rather
than colour.
 Panel
Four
The fourth and final panel brings vegetarian meals to life.
The first painting shows the salad again with solid colouring
rather than shades and tone. This represents the entre. Below
is soup with bread, as the first course. The painting is in a
realistic style. The final giant painting is revisiting the main
course of panel two, but as a whole and realisticly, with no
distortions or dividing within frames. It is obvious that even
without special emphesis on colour or harmony, the meal can easily
bring itself together.
