DescriptionWorkman studied BA Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts. The development of technology to facilitate intensive farming has enabled crowding and a factory style output, with vaccines to eliminate the spread of diseases which previously made these methods impossible. Selective breeding and factory farming changed livestock irrevocably and Workman illustrates the manipulated, mundane, repetitive lifestyle of these animals, with the fox one of the remaining animals in England to evade this.
