SMALL LIE

“SMALL LIE adopts the position of a child caught out telling a fib, knowing it has done wrong, with head down in embarrassment and knees knocked in a protective, humbled, position. The material of its making and long nose deliberately evoke the fairytale of Pinocchio, told to a children as a thinly veiled warning about the consequences of lying.”
