Lean times

Calico pig people hang out in underground Q- Park carpark show for Chinese New Year of the Pig. My take for curator Rebecca Feiner's show 'Four Legs Good Two Legs Bad' are aimless and dispirited creatures making the most of hard times - George Orwell more familiar in this quote from Animal Farm writing first came on the public's radar in his seminal book Down and Out in London and Paris- a description of his years living penniless in Paris and on the streets in London and the desperate existance of homelesseness in the 1930s. His publisher urged him to change his name from Eric Blair to George Orwell to avoid alienating his readers, however it proved to be a turning point as he found his place and made his name in writing biting social satire.
