About the Work
"I
don't
know
what
to
think
of
this
really,
it
seems
awfully
macabre.
But
so
full
of
colour
and
life!
A
bit
confusing
really.
A
couple
of
bodies
recently
evaporated,
leaving
behind
a
set
of
pristine
and
freshly
laundered
coats,
set
against
what
is
obviously
the
murder
weapon!
It's
a
captivating
scene,
and
I
can't
take
my
eyes
off
it."

By 1975 Don began working in what would become his signature format using hanging plastic banners, tarpaulins and blankets adorned with an assortment of ‘found’ everyday objects such as clothing, tools, doormats, and animal skins.
