	Scotsman.com Living - Beauty lures us to the beastly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Collishaw is the conceptual equivalent of the consummate draughtsman, with the rare talent of making works which, like a fine line drawing, at first sight appear simple, but possess the power to conjure thoughts whose complexity far outweighs their size.
		Collishaw is an expert at opening our eyes to such truths, drawing us down to the nasty things that lurk in the undergrowth of life.
		Recontextualised via Collishaw’s choice of materials, alluding as it does to traditions of decorative art, it summons the spectre of the victory of bigotry over civilisation and the sad fact that such news footage has subsumed 2000 years of Persian art to become the popular visual identity of that noble culture.
