The traditional language of the heraldic banner, dotted with lions and mythological animals, is playfully subverted in this series, which replaces those symbols with the animal icons of our urban environments: small pet dogs, insects and birds. In addition to transforming these historical references, the artist is interested in highlighting the soothing and mollifying effect of visual imagery used in public spaces–a common practice, for example, of corporate advertising.
