By Patrick Bew 2006

Dimensions
50.8cm x 35.6cm

This is one of a series of paintings (some very large) and posters. I have been working on, and self evidently, related to the events in Northern Ireland. The use of the bag as an image came from the Union Jack shopping bags bought in the high street, where, High street shrines are shopping centre malls.
