My fine art drawings are derived from national newspaper photographs of evidence, crime scenes, victims and their perpetrators. The work ‘Evidence of cruelty’ contains a series of drawings based on media images of the 2008 Baby P. case. The cardboard cut-outs are derived from police pictures of a child’s bloodstained clothes which were used as evidence of the horrific cruelty perpetrated upon ‘a child called Peter’ by his abuser, Jason Owen. The quote from The Sun newspaper on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 reads: 'Bloodstained ... pictures of toddler's clothing shown to trial jury as evidence.'
