'The Worm is Turning' comes from an Old English phrase meaning even the meekest of creatures will retaliate to defend itself if pushed too far. With so much war and senseless destruction of life happening on our planet, I wanted to create a work that represented this concept. The symbolism is personal but easy enough to decipher. There are contrasts of beauty and ugliness, pleasure and pain, joy and despair - metaphors for these times of great contradictions that we are currently experiencing.
