‘Stop and Search’ illustrates the extreme measures of a security state through the depiction of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz being searched by a police officer.

The Wizard of Oz is a universally known story, appealing to people of all ages. Dorothy, the protagonist, embarks on a quest to return home after being swept away to the magical land of Oz by a tornado with her dog, Toto. In this print, they encounter an officer donning riot gear who inspects Dorothy's wicker basket for potential contraband. Dorothy is portrayed as harmless, representing the paranoia surrounding immigration and government efforts to regulate and prevent the entry of those seeking a better life.

Printed predominantly in black and white, with the officer's disposable gloves shown in blue, the print captures Dorothy's iconic appearance in her gingham dress and displays her concern as the officer rummages through her picnic basket.

Created as a screen print in 2007, it was produced in a limited edition of 500 signed pieces, each marked with blue crayon. A rare canvas version of the artwork also exists and has achieved notable auction prices in recent years.
