The reoccurring character “Jimmy The Nail” has featured in Eric Bainbridge’s work spasmodically since 1984—a play between the image of a cut floorboard nail and the then popular actor Jimmy Nail. The first piece called The Dilemma of Jimmy the Nail was made from ocelot fur fabric. The Vitals are essential organs, the life force of Jimmy The Nail—they are represented in the edition as voids. This edition is intended to be placed in any orientation: upright against a wall, lying flat on floor, horizontal against a wall, hanging.
