This print was created in conjunction with the Glasgow Print Studio 50th Anniversary Here & Now Legacy Project. "'Tribe' is a development of drawings I have done looking at the notion of 'othering' or placing individuals or groups into the category of 'not like us'. It usually happens from a vantage point of being part of a like-minded group of people - your own tribe."

"From football, music, religion and politics, it is obvious that the notion of 'tribe' is powerful and can be regarded as both positive and negative. I decided that anything over three people could be regarded as 'A Tribe'."

"I have coloured these prints blue with the idea that there will be a red Tribe version and a green one. A simple example of the differences which divide."
