I recently discovered an image of an enamel-painted Staffordshire figure called ‘The Worshipper’, by Ralph Wood (active 1782-1795). It inspired the thought “What’s the point of praying” and an impulse to create my own version. What started as a desperate caricature became an opportunity for deeper reflection, and I have found that the act of making has offset some of the negative impulses I feel right now.

The last time I used these molds was in 2013 to create ‘The Execution’, an interpretation of a famous print depicting the regicide of King Charles I. Now, I am thinking they will make a good shepherd.

‘The Big Yin’ and ‘The Big Ewe’ were made to be exhibited with ‘The Herd’. When finished, The Big Yin’ will dominate; The Big Ewe’ will compliment and ‘The Herd’ will add volume to the final composition.

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format.

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
