The Death of Sainsbury's by Karen Thompson

The TRILOGY OF DEATH comprises two modern interpretations and a copy of the Staffordshire Potteries piece, *The Death of Munrow ca. 1810. The two ’companion pieces’ use elements of the original imagery to remark on contemporary social issues. The Death of Sainsbury’s turns everything both metaphorically and literally on its head commenting on the simplicity of the food chain and the predominance of supermarkets within it.
