Further information
Craig Donald’s work deals with our understanding of the past. History and memory are dismantled and recombined, their images decontextualised and reimagined to form layers of meaning calling upon the viewers’ knowledge, memories and imagination in order to be pieced together and create a new narrative.

Artist's commentary about this work: 'Stock, 1929 is taken from an image of a religious leader handing out bread to the hungry in America during the Great Depression. Focusing the drawing on a cropped part of the image retained the religious atmosphere, but also brought out other connotations: a more esoteric ritual, or a conspiracy. Nearly 100 years after the events of this image, we haven’t managed to escape the weaponisation of food and societal reliance on charity.'
