17 Tribes
Acrylic and Pencil on Canvas
This is part of a large solo show in 2010 called "The Curious Mystery of Alistair Plank and Other Strange Stories" . The show was all about stories, the power they hold, and the challenge to me to tell an interesting story with each piece.
This is the story of the 17 Tribes of miniature Gigantopithecus warriors that live in the Eastern Balkans, hiding within cracks and spaces around the heat sources of 'normal sized' humans, such as fireplaces and woodstoves. They like grapes.
