I dreamt that a friend commissioned me to paint a picture of goats going up the mountainside. So, I did: the mountain was collaged from a painted map of Sussex and Surrey and the goats, very cute Toggenburg goats. When I’d finished, I thought I like these goats- so I gave them Pineapple Goat World. I studied pineapples for a few weeks looking for the ideal one, and I made the pineapple from an old map of castles of Norway. After this, I thought these goats should travel to start with- San Francisco and then London.
