after the world for future generations. Whilst some of his
more serious pieces show the inevitable desperation of mankind
and seeming futility of the human condition, Mackenzie Thorpe
then shows us that there is hope and love. Using animals as
well as people, Mackenzie Thorpe depicts beautiful poignant
moments of our lives - moments. which we all understand and
which show our vulnerability.

Northern England in 1995. He was selected as the official
