Dreams don’t come in plastic bags

Large scale charcoal drawing of urban domestic living room scene

Part true life part fantasy this drawing shows a young man staring out the window from a south east London terraced house, he is at a crossroads in his life. In the night sky we see the image of Phrixus and Helle escaping on the Golden Ram from Greek mythology. Perhaps this is his dream of escape. On the floor of the room a Nike bag offers another escape, the ‘escape’ of hard drugs waiting in their little bags.
