The coronet is a metonymy for a Royal Person. The “Red Queen” is printed with red ink on pink toned paper enhancing her redness which the red bowl and reflections do to the milk droplet in Edgerton’s photo. The “Red Queen” also calls to mind the character in Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass”. That queen is irascible, forceful and capricious. The milk-drop’s forceful splash echoes that feeling.

“Waiting” is a tableau, the elderly man sits with his bowl/pot awaiting the finishing of the cooked fish on the coals. His surroundings are bleak. The graffiti and uncomfortable seating signal his lack of agency. No comfy cheerful kitchen for him. The tripod cooking pot, the waiting and watchfulness of the “West End Meat Market” and the rough utility of “Loading Cattle” all spoke to me as I created this tableau.
