Kilfeather continues his exploration of nicomachean ethics, eudaemonism and akrasia, with this series of digital paintings, some with acrylic paint interventions, about akrasia.

British Airways' Chief Executive Willie Walsh and his apparent akratic gluttonous obsession with power and subjugation provided the initial inspiration for this Relational or Participative project. More recently it has evolved to include other akratic issues in particular broken promises on education by government ministers.
