Lot Essay

''.......Here I probe the relationship between the male and the female - the lion and the lioness. It is often amazing to me, watching these animals together, both immensely powerful, but with a sense of playfulness as they push and nudge each other. The playfulness, however, can quickly turn to aggression. This piece is about that dynamic: the whole composition is curved on the base; the cats are almost a semi-circle as they push against each other.''
