The Urban Pheasants are contemporary transcriptions of traditional hunting and game shooting paintings. Often seen in grand country houses, such works were also historically displayed in lowlier houses to impose a sense of wealth and class hierarchy. In making these works (and living/working in a game shooting village), it became apparent how the shooting season imposes a clear sense of class division upon my community, with segregated vehicular convoys (hunters versus beaters), segregated hunting lodges and segregated suppers. These works question the social status of the wealthy elite who pay to shoot and have someone load their gun, versus those who are not deemed wealthy, or classy enough to shoot gamebirds.
