Notes
"It is not as if I've turned my back on all I explored with the Cat. The same forces are embedded in my new work. I'm increasingly fascinated now by the mythological merging of human, animal and natural forces and forms." Dylan Lewis. Ibid, page 170.Literature
cf. Laura Twiggs (ed.) (2006). Forces of Nature: The Sculpture of Dylan Lewis, Western Cape: Pardus. A drawing from 2005 resembles this sculpture illustrated on page 167, another example from the edition cast in 2006 illustrated on pages 174 and 175.Other lots that might interest you
