Les Piques (The Pikes)

The images above are those referred to in the blog entitled Dead Heads. I am not a great fan of Barry Flanagan's work but the mythical figure of the Hare is a mysterious and eerie element so reminiscent in a symbolic sense of the work by Tim Shaw at Eden. Similarly I can see parallels with Shaw's work to the disturbingly uncanny elements of Messager's work, particularly the cruelty of Les Piques.
