GLENN FITZPATRICK (FITZY)
ORIGINAL DRAWING / MEDIUM BIRO
875 mm x 835mm

Mother Earth, the sole protector of our planet, is also the symbolic icon that is part of Fitzy's regiment and our life.

Mother Earth is depicted holding onto her womb with bayoneted fingers in an attempt to protect her own planet, there is no greater fighter that a pregant woman watching over her unborn. The body of Mother earth features two sides of Terra, no side is favoured, but being soul protector she fears that the greed and sonstant struggle for power, created by fuel that is forever being extracted from the planet, all she cad is pray her children see sense before they destroy themselves.

The symbols within this picture are also a metaphorical guie and hint to the worls we live in; horses can be representative to BHP, high society and an alternative means of power. The telehone box suggests we need to communicate before it's all too late. Mother Earth's gaze looks towrds the summit, perhaps there lays our answer?
