in the late 1990’s, my thing was to smoke a joint, and then nip into art galleries.the other thing is,i was more or less living on those excellent linda mccartney country pies.one day i forgot the pies were in the oven,and when i took them out,i marveled at how they’d burnt black,yet the tinfoil remained pristine and glittery silver.i gently placed them in a little box, and went down to the charles saatchi gallery…..then when security and punters drifted out of the room,i quietly laid the burnt pies in their glittery tinfoil at the feet of a ron mueck hyper reality sculpture.i then hung around to watch people come in and stroke their chins at the burnt linda pies on the floor.they treated these pies with the same validity as all the other high art peppered around the place.
people can be such easy game…..me included.
I like the story of the burnt pies as art – Yoko would have been proud.

Impressive, and even better when you realise what it’s made from, great way to recycle.
