Stop and Search was released in 2007 as an edition of 500 signed prints. This work portrays, in monochrome, a storyline with Dorothy (the central character from the Wizard of Oz), her dog, Toto, and a police officer that is searching through Dorothy’s basket and appears to be questioning her about something he has found in her basket.
This print relates to the plot of The Wizard of Oz and suggests that Dorothy and Toto are being prevented from getting home. The purity and naivety associated with the protagonist in the film is embedded within the artwork and only accentuates the absurdity of the search itself. Dorothy is a character representing innocence and freedom, and yet even she is not free from the menacing influence of the state.
