Two egg shapes painted onto paper in two different shades of blue.This is a melancholy drawing made by the artist and then rejected. The artist originally threw this piece away because he felt something wasn&rsquo;t quite right but then rescued it from the bin because something different felt right. Perhaps its importance to him lay not in the original intention but on a different track &ndash; he changed his mind. He says that he will never sell this piece.

A map of the British Isles cut from what appears to be paint peeled from a wall, mounted on paper and framed.Staring at the wall with an unfocused eye, while the brain is working something else &ndash; perhaps sitting on the toilet or maybe taking a break from gazing at the computer screen, the brain finds patterns and forms in peeling paintwork of details of brushstrokes. The daydreaming reverie finding the country map, a cultural shape more symbolic and timeless than the flag. Islands drawn out in the peeling paint like distant memories of once Great Nations.

A framed muslin punk shirt with the Artist&rsquo;s signature across the front and a silk label reading &lsquo;Gavin Turk 1997&rsquo;, Punk Bunny I is a homage to the rebellious DIY spirit of punk, the artist's signature is taken off the canvas and onto torn piece of fabric artfully customised with the aid of zips into a shirt. An exemplary piece of DIY couture, this shirt no less a uniform than a military jacket. But is the shirt now art? Or is the artist now a punk? Or is has this shirt, like everything else these days, been commodified and, in its commodification, relegated both punk and art to the realm of the souvenir?
