I Am Not Greedy by Wendy Walgate.
The colour palette may be subdued and the theme may appear whimsical, but this is definitely a sculpture with a statement. Walgate, who recycles discarded objects and features them prominently in her creations, started with a vintage cup bearing the slogan “I am not greedy, but I want enough.”
Walgate believes that the cup’s statement is “incredibly apt for these times and particularly the need to have enough meat on our plates. The centre of all our meals - the meat. How about everything else we can eat that doesn’t involve confinement, torture and killing? How about being creative with our food and using all those fresh, brilliantly coloured foods that don’t involve death?” The artist further encourages us to “Go vegetarian and try hard for vegan. It’s the inevitable way of the future.”
