"The Philosophy of French Plumbing – Beating the System"
photomontage on canvas, 30 1/8 x 3 foot dead

An installation at the Tite Modern which led to prosecution of all parties involved, including the plumbers, on account of naked pipes and blatant disregard for local authority regulations concerning aspect, visual offence and effective exit of rejected substances known to cause offence and possible plague within the environs of Southwark. The case is at present sub-judicae and subject to prodding police scrutiny. According to Detective Inspector Gregg Purloin of Scotland Yard, at a Press briefing outside the Tite Museum, ‘the work lacks dimension, internal vision and is derivative of one of my Sergeant’s off-duty works entitled Pan Pipes. The Sergeant, whose name is with held, pending further investigation, and the completion of his new work of monumental Internalism, entitled ‘CELL’, which will be on show below Bow Street Magistrates Court for those unlucky enough to be banged up for affray’. Purloin went on to say that the Sergeant’s oeuvre is a work of ‘rehabilitating significance’ to the criminal mind. Gavin Twinge, he said, is just another sad wannabee with a sick desire to outwit the Police.
