Formline designs and painterly imagery using stencils and colourful spray paint. The otter is featured in this painting over and over from different viewpoints. You can see an otter head, a full otter body, eyes, and the skull, all fractured and then merged abstractly as if it were a street wall with multiple layers of graffiti
