The amusing children’s nursery rhyme ‘Sing a song of sixpence’ has unexpected dark and disturbing satirical undertones. The multiple layers of coded meanings include themes of adultery, murder, religious reformation and even piracy.

The innocence of children reciting this rhyme is an interesting contrast to the original dark intentions and offers a wide scope of investigation for the four members of SCAN collective.

Working with a contemporary approach in the mediums of collage, painting, installation and sculpture, each member of SCAN collective interprets the multiple layers of hidden intent within the prose of this nursery rhyme.
