This framed gallery wrapped canvas print was inspired by John Gardner's novel, Grendel:
“Think, sweating beast! Look up and think! Whence came these furs on the backs of your kind protectors? Why does the bread-thief die and the murdering thane escape by a sleight by the costliest of advocates?
Think! Squeeze up your wrinkled face and seize the hangnail tip of a searing thought:
Violence hacked this shack-filled hole in the woods where you play freedom games. Violence no more legitimate then than a wolf’s. And now by violence they lock us in—you and me, old man: subdue our vile unkingly violence. Come into the shade. I would have a word with you and your wart-hog son.”
