What We Are Made Of

About this work

Built from hundreds of separate marks, the gorilla appears piece by piece. Ochre, ivory and bronze emerge through the black, while his penetrating eyes hold everything together. Up close, each stroke stands alone. From a distance, they become one powerful presence.

Like a person, he is not defined by a single moment.
We are shaped by what we have carried, endured, loved and lost.
The Wild Within is found in the deeper whole, in everything
beneath the surface that has made us who we are.

In your space

Ivory and ochre bring rhythm and warmth, while the deep black adds depth to the room. His direct gaze gives
the space a powerful and unmistakable presence.
