Two to go Just two more stakes to be put into the ground to control the raspberries. At this stage Philip felt as though he were floating in space after the exertion 2160 cm high x 1720 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1989/199 |

One Too Philip grows a lot of raspberries, but it’s largely the birds which eat them. This picture refers to the winter task of staking up the bare canes to stop them falling over. Philip is using number 8 wire to keep the unruly canes in check 2030 cm high x 1740 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1989/1999 |

One This painting fuses the axe handle, the eye and the stakes with a North Indian influence. This is a close-up look at the hands and part of the axe handle. The border design comes from the hat. 2500 cm high x 2040 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1990/1999 |

One Ti Go Wearing another of his hats from the Trade Aid shops, Philip is hammering in more stakes, this time for an electric fence 2460 cm high x 1770 cm wide Acrylic on canvas 1989/1999 |

Move Move The two faces in this painting reflect a Mayan influence. Philip wanted to paint the arms as ropes or cords, showing some of their functional value 2000 cm high x 1710 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1989/1999 |

Two and Half Philip reflected a cultural influence from the North American Indigenous Peoples in this painting. 2640 cm high x 2040 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1990/1999 |

Inside Out It’s the blue jersey that’s on in-side out, to keep it cleaner while the stakes are being hammered in with an axe. Philip calls this his very innocent painting, referring to the facial expression. 2010 cm high x 1720 cm wide Acrylic on 12 oz canvas 1989/1999 |
