Lion Bust was made after a research trip to Kenya where I spent time close to lions in the wild. I wanted to bring that intensity down to a more intimate scale, with a shallow depth that means it sits comfortably on a shelf or mantelpiece. The focus is really on the facial expression and that engaging, forward stare - direct, alert, almost holding your gaze. Cast in bronze using the lost-wax process, hand-finished, part of a limited edition - each cast signed and numbered, with a certificate of authenticity
