Notes
‘This sculpture is from the Leopard Creek set, a series of 18 sculptures in which I explore the leopard form in a progression of different attitudes (from a state of repose through to awakening, hunting, stalking, and killing). It was a project that allowed me to explore the animal in-depth in terms of its form and what it represented to me.’
