The inspiration behind the series "Sheep Nation" came about after much reflection on society, consumerism and how society follows trends. It exposes our species as another animal to provoke a reaction and self reflection.  I  like to show the funny yet realistic side of issues.  I did the same thing with my previous series, "Potholes", which presents infrastructural problems in a humorous way.  The scenes in Sheep Nation have significative graphics. In “DOLLY'S BOOK CLUB - CLOVER JUICE DETOX DIET”,  I wanted to play on Oprah’s Book Club concept by changing the name to Dolly. Dolly is probably the most popular of all sheep, being that she was the first sheep to ever be cloned. I also wanted to play on health fads like juicing and in this scene I used clover as it provides a high source of protein for sheep.
