The innate reductionism that the game of noughts and crosses etched in our
subconscious with the red, white and blue of ours and neighbouring countries 
playing the games of the past. The warrior footing at present shows the game
to be impotent with no satisfactory end, deadlocked facing each other on the 
eve of further destruction. 

The yielding surface of flowing marks in blue and striated white and red shows the 
texture to be plucked and cut away for all to see.
