Images from research that lead to a sculpture. One closer to an etching, the other closer to a painting. Technology didn't exist to do this 2004/6. Images combined with historical context of a book, v important, to share a life story. #OlaudahEquiano #sculpture #arthistory

🐅🌏 Happy #WorldTigerDay! Bhutan is a haven for tigers, with over 50% of its landscape protected and a constitutional mandate for 60% forest cover. It's also home to the highest recorded altitude for tigers in Wangchuck Centennial Park 🌲 #GlobalTigerDay #TigerConservation

The gold leaf veins map the tiger corridors of land between reserves and tiger countries. The bleed through of ink on the semi-permeable membrane creates a camouflage effect. #tiger #tigercorridor

6 of 9 subspecies of tiger are now extinct - Caspian, Balinesr and Javan. The tiger tail on yellow is of the Caspian tiger which existed in Ukraine in medieval times, subjected to hunting and isolation, it could not survive. There are 8 strips, 8 auspicious. #tiger #tigercorridor
