I am not a Christian, nor do these images have anything whatsoever to do with crucifixes. Having seen a vineyard scarecrow near Strathalbyn I became obsessed with the concept of a composition incorporating the strong diagonal pull of the posts and wires against the confrontational vertical and horizontal, hung with clothes and topped with a blank, blind head.

The drawing for the posts took so long and I made so many adjustments so the whole compositional thing would hang together with eye level, balance etc, that I kept on using the original drawing rather than remake all the same decisions and simply come back to the drawing I first thought of. I did, however, change the position of the scarecrow in the second two, balanced by the stronger sky.
