Abstract:
Postcard featuring a multicolored collage of a pig with women's legs coming up from its ears to support a semicircle made of assorted cut out faces. The background is a collection of Royal Bank of Scotland pound notes in various denominations. There is a red swastika on a pound note in the upper left corner and on another pound note on the right hand side. Red paint drips like blood from the top of the artwork. The postcard verso provides information about the artist's struggle and death from AIDS. It also provides information about the London AIDS charity Body Positive and how to provide financial support.
