Catalogue Note
“I was just thinking about how charities have changed over the years. It used to be taken on board and in a way now it has decayed... There is the girl: she is so cute, with a teddy bear and then the calliper leg. So, they were trying to make you attracted to her but also feel sorry for her, to get money from you. It was just that whole idea was kind of screwy. But, then it is connected to my childhood.”
