My comment: I am curious about "Sharman," which turns out to be a surname--variant of Sherman, which in turns means "sheepshearer."

My comment:
(a) What is intriguing is this artist has an exhibition in the gallery called Sherry Frumkin, derived from the name of the owner.

(b) The artist has US as an enpire that would annex various nations/places, including Taiwan:

"In his page on the new state of 'Formosa Taiwan,' Mills accedes that greater China is too big and powerful for takeover, but Taiwan can be our very own “little China.” It’s on record as wanting independence from China, he reasons, but there’s no proof it wanted independence from the USA. Why not?

(c) The art about Taiwan: Click the "Sherry Frumkin" button in this news story and one of visuals is Taiwan project.

In yesterday's posting, "honey buzzard"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_Buzzard

should be "Oriental honey buzzard" 鵰頭鷹

The former is restricted to Europe, Africa and Western Asia, whereas the latter, in Eastern Asia.
