MARKET HOUNDS, 2010, [wood, tape, snacks and grocery wrappers] 120cm x 560cm x89cm.





MARKET HOUNDS, 2010, [wood, tape, snacks and grocery wrappers] 120cm x 560cm x89cm.The work market hound is made up of tape, wood, and snacks and grocery wrappers standing in space. This work invokes one’s sense of organization, association; group institutions which could be systematized or put in array to convey advantageous economic social life. The inadequate electricity makes it unworkable to do business in Nigeria. Look at the activities surrounding us; one would agree with me that this century Nigeria is ridden with all kinds of social vice, due to persistent being without a job. Streets are besieged with hawkers who customarily would have initiated a gainful employment in some reasonable enterprise.
