'Cow Pi' is part of his very popular 'Pun' Series and has become a sub series aptly names the 'Pi' Series. In this series he uses the symbol for the mathematical symbol for 'Pi' as a double-entendre for the dessert, typically, however in this painting I have taken a term used for ‘cow dung’ or ‘cow pie’. In this particular piece, the pi symbol can be seen in the cows nose.
From my "Series of Pun Paintings". In my 'pun paintings' I deconstruct the English language by use of the pun. I was once told “it isn’t what you paint, but how you paint it.” I became bound and determined to prove that statement wrong. In my work, it is not only about what I paint but the way in which it is painted. My Pun Paintings appeal to me personally for the humorous aspect and the witty form of intellectual play. Collectors of my work have expressed how much they love living with his work, every time they see it, it makes them happy and smile and ready for whatever activity is next on the agenda.
