I was inspired by the book Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen. I wanted to create an artwork where a man breaks out of the frame so that he can go and dig for bones. It was quite hard to plan because there so many elements to it—the background, the frame (and how to break it) and the painting. I like constructing things as well as painting.
