Lot Essay
Once again, as with lots 5, 16 and 31, this is a sculpture from the Leopard Creek set, see quote on lot 5.
''......My sculptures explore different aspects of the cat. Some, like the busts and fragmented torsos, were much more abstract. The Leopard Creek pieces delve into more literal emotions or feelings. Here I can almost feel the stretch in my own body, and that was what I was trying to convey: the hunch of the head, the tension of the neck muscles and the relaxed curve of the back and sweep of the tail.''
