'Knight' is part of my hybrid series where I add legs to a variety of objects. A chicken soup carton, a diver's helmet or a meat mincer are examples of the objects that I have used in this series.

The addition of legs transforms these objects into absurd, ridiculous new species. They are now living creatures able to move independently. This is my way of investigating the meanings associated with the objects that I transform and making a comment on the political and social aspects they incorporates.

Knights were defenders of a cause, champions of the weak and vulnerable, epitomising all that was good. They were also instrumental to oppression and religious-driven dominance. By ridiculing a knight helmet, the sculpture invites us to reconsider our view on our values and the role that our society plays in shaping the world.
