It’s now been through a heap of changes since its initial incarnation- originally it was to be a quick small black and white portrait format piece, with just the figures and the landfill hill with a plain coloured backdrop. Then I started organically adding elements – smoke twists, a few hills etc, and it kept increasing the frame/zooming out until eventually it just evolved into more of a sprawling landscape piece. It’s been through a load of colour changes too, monochrome  initially, to gloomy sepia, to the usual apocolyptic fiery red and then the nuclear green hue it is now.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t actually happen. Enjoy!
