How did you come up with “Negative Sheep”?
One late night in my studio I was smoking marijuana, lots of it, and I threw a sheepskin rug over two ottomans. It looked like a sheep with no head and two rear ends. I took the idea of a headless, two-tailed sheep and made the “Push me, Push Ewe”. It’s made of foam over a wooden armature covered in sheepskin with sculpted bronze legs. The sheep has secret silicone anatomy hidden under the tails.
While working on the sheep sculpture I began thinking about sheep mutations, I remembered seeing photos of a two-headed sheep. I decided to draw two-headed sheep to balance out the headless sheep sculpture. Those mutations led to using images from my home printer malfunctions as inspiration. Sometimes I will run out of a color and something interesting will happen, unusual color combinations and other distortions. I worked these oddities into my drawings and paintings. This brought me to digitally manipulating found images of sheep which led to the negative sheep.

There was a sheep that roamed around my house in Scotland. I think he had a birth defect as his legs were very, very short, and he was rectangular, just like a coffee table. He never left his mother's side, but he was not a lamb. He was so cute, but he had problems climbing. I always talked to the critters around me.
