This quirky work comprises an old 'found' wooden table onto the surface of which the artist has attached a film of mirrored plastic sheeting. He has then decorated this with a giant vanilla and strawberry 'ice cream' confection, made of plaster and paint. The resulting work, which has been designed in such a way that it is hanging out from the wall like a shop sign, is delightfully wacky and enticing.
