This work is primarily a sculptural realisation of a mental image I had while simultaneously drinking a cup of coffee and watching a film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. However it is also intended to generate that subtle disruptive impact that a mundane yet inaccurate object can have on a person. Hopefully it can elicit a few smiles and maybe some giggles.
