Running Fence is made up of 9 parts. There is a strange ambiguity about these headless creatures (sheep skins hung out to dry) seemingly cavorting along the line of a fence.

Don Bonner sat for a couple of portraits in my makeshift studio - a cottage in the garden of Government House. He was a relaxed and patient sitter. Don was a third generation Falkland Islander and, back in 1982 at the time of the Argentine invasion, he had been working for the then governor Rex Hunt as his buttler and also as his chauffeur - driving the maroon taxi which served as the official car.

'Running Fence' - nine paintings, each in oil on paper, hanging low along the gallery wall at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, UK in 1996 (part of my exhibition 'Looking Out from Within'). Each painting depicts a sheep skin hung out to dry on a wire fence. Rows of these headless skins can be found in some Falklands settlements . .  creating very strange sights.
