When out walking in the countryside around Allenheads I found a farm fence with thirty eight dead moles hanging from it. I decided to make the moles some dresses and clothe them. I also displayed the words once upon a time written in the grass, using old sheets.  My final piece was “Blue Jacket with Brass buttons” – a blue cotton jacket to dress a dead rabbit.
