Lot Essay

"......This piece is unusual in the sense that I certainly haven't done many studies of the baboon. Most of my focus is on the cat and bird forms, so here I'm really just conveying an animal that is very typical of Africa. The baboon is the trickster, they are very entertaining to watch, often in troupes and tribes. The way the babies ride on their mothers' backs is very engaging, and here I'm exploring a very comical, but also sometimes very dangerous, African animal."
