Boots
The simple shape and pleasing variation of these ten pairs of ceramic boots invites various associations – from the craft tradition to figurative sculpture to cartoons.

Here is an example of Shrigley finding absurdity and humour within the everyday and inviting multiple interpretations of his work.
