Wild & Wrong

There is a particular kind of confidence that exists beyond reason. Beyond evidence. Beyond the advice of anyone watching from the outside. Wild & Wrong is a portrait of that confidence — painted twenty-five times, in twenty-five different forms, with bold expressive brushstrokes and saturated jewel-toned colour that make every image feel urgent, alive, and impossible to look away from.Each painting in this collection shows a creature in a situation it has no business being in. Each text asks, quietly, why we recognise it so immediately.This is a funny book. It is also something else — a record of the gap between what we believe about ourselves and what the world can actually see, between the plan and the reality, between the spotlight and the stage. Richly painted, warm, and quietly relentless in the way it holds a mirror up to its reader, Wild & Wrong is a collection that stays with you long after the last page.The animals are doing their best. So are we. That turns out to be the same story.
