Lot Essay

Outlaws Inlaws No laws is an important example of Young's dynamic, energetic representation of the biker as a cultural figure. In this unorthodox way of working the glass is coated with layers of spray glue which collect the rubber shavings that sprayed up from the tires as the biker rode past. It remains paradoxically a fragile work, a word game of irony and satire of people and law.
