Andrew considers ‘A Vegetarian at Christmas’ to be his most important piece because, surprisingly, he sees it as a self-portrait. The ‘vegetarian’ in the title is the young turkey sitting underneath the table playing with his toy humans whilst the rest of his family gleefully anticipate the carnage of their dinner. Until Andrew was 7 years old, and his parents had an epiphany, he was that young turkey: uncomprehending, unable to eat something that he could have made friends with.
