"Three Blind Mice" is an old English nursery rhyme that may be connected to the persecution of Protestant bishops under Queen Mary I, who was known for her strong Catholic stance and suppression of Protestants. In this print the Three Blind Mice are depicted here as the police, church and judiciary. The mice are covering their mouth, eyes and ears respectively. It references the proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Its meaning can be interpreted as a way to avoid complicity in wrongdoing by pretending not to be aware of it. The proverb is often associated with the "Three Wise Monkeys" in visual representations but instead I have used the three blind mice in this instance which connects it to the nursery rhyme.

This is a limited edition series and it is signed by the artist. This print is part of a larger body of work that examines the gender values that are imparted onto children through popular nursery rhymes and fairy tales.
