The Inheritors is a series of appropriated photographs of animals that have been digitally manipulated to accommodate human eyes. The eyes are those of the artist making them a series of self-portraits e.g as gannet, snake, sheep or eagle.

The Inheritors series has been widely exhibited and reviewed, and features in the book Insectile (2001).
