1300 kg chronicles the story of the sick little Chicken, the gallerist Alligator and the beautiful Hippopotamus they both love. Follow this not-so linear tale of desire, loss, and dreams through the lush English countryside, the modern art scene, and beyond. See the artist at work in his studio, meet his family, and more in this comic style castle fantasy. Beautifully printed on billiard table felt colored green paper, in protoplasm blue, apparition white, and Merlot red ink.

This story was largely drawn from a trip the artist made to Stonehenge and it's surrounding areas.
