“I shall never forget my first encounter with gorillas. Sound preceded sight. Odor preceded sound in the form of an overwhelming, musky-barnyard, humanlike scent. The air was suddenly rent by a high-pitched series of screams followed by the rhythmic rondo of sharp pok-pok chestbeats from a great silverbacked male obscured behind what seemed an impenetrable wall of vegetation.”

Each sculpt has been originally sculpted from clay, which allows the sculptor to be freer, giving pieces that dynamic and organic feel, stylised by Edge Sculpture.

The finished clay sculpt 'masters' are then taken to be moulded, each subsequent piece will be carefully hand-cast from this mould using marble polystone, with allows a faithful reproduction of detail and texture applied to the original sculpt. The finishing touch is the skilful application of hand-painting and finishing, which brings the sculpt to life.

The end result is a centre-piece and talking point for anyone's living room!
