Artist’s statement: Lions may be the king of the savannah but they are also a vanishing species. Vanishing species are veterans in the war against encroachment on their territories, hunting for their body parts, and the battle against changing climates. This inspired me to re-use a heavily worn canvas tarp and burlap sacking to express both the toughness of their battle and their fragility.
