Glory Glory (Hat and Horns)
An imposing figure wears elements of traditional Welsh dress. Yet on closer inspection, the sculpture takes on the fantastical appearance of a character from a fairy-tale, or a nightmare. Part of a wider series created for the 2005 Venice Biennale, 'Glory Glory' explores the contradictory conceptions of national identity.
