GLENN FITZPATRICK (FITZY)
ORIGINAL DRAWING
MEDIUM BIRO
1080mm x 870mm

Fitzy's pictorial journey was set in two parts, pre-op and post-op, and was testing the boundaries of himself and his abilities before and after surgery.
Clap monkey is how Fitzy perceived himself to be, a servant of the state and borderline experiment, he felt the need to free up an indoctrination that was thrust upon him and our society. After much deliberation he embarked on a new angle of drawing therefore putting a new emphasis on art and architeture, therefore detaching himself froom the clapping monkey he was.
