Coconut Shy is a traditional game frequently found as a side stall at funfairs and fetes. The game consists of throwing wooden balls at a row of coconuts balanced on posts or tin cans.

Galligan liked the contradiction of making something which is normally robust and begs to be thrown at, from a fragile material which could fall and shatter should a ball were to be thrown at it.
