In August 2000 Chris Lloyd attended a garden party pig roast. For this exhibition in the Frame Gallery, Lloyd exhibited a copy of the invitation to the garden party as well as the outfit of clothing he wore to the party, pinned to the Frame Gallery like a specimen. The clothes are splattered and stained with blood from an in jury Lloyd sustained while at the party. States the artist: "I went to this party with a friend because our original plans fell through, and we just couldn't escape the irony of a couple vegetarians going to a pig roast. During the party I cut my finger. Though my finger was bandaged, later in the evening the bandage came off while dancing, and I continued to bleed...like a stuck pig."
