'Saint Christopher's Legless' was built around the patron saint of wayfarers, and modes of inner travel, iconographically through the inclusion of a lifelike sculpture of the eremitic saint 'slumped against the wall of the gallery, his legs worn down to stumps through the zeal of his efforts', (4) and by means of curious fibre-glass sculptures, abstract approximations of hi-speed, sci-fi vehicles, that invited promise of translocation beyond mundane everyday experience.

Both the systematic and thematic catalogs are ordered iconographically, in contrast to, e.g., Mitchell and Searight 2008, where the main catalogue is ordered chronologically, preserving the progression of types, but the pictorial index is ordered iconographically, better enabling direct comparisons.
