Black Sheep is a piece where I had reflected on the past an the present. Black Sheep used the idea of claiming community land. From the old english wool industry, when the wool industry became big villages used to have community land for farming, but since sheep rome the land the owners did not want to loose their sheep so they would fence off a section of the community land for their own. I have taken a modern twist to this by placing my "sheep" and some furniture on a planter that separates the two street lanes. But siting on this unclaimed or community land I am claiming it as my own.
