Notes : Once again returning to the fragment theme, Levrs now started to explore the idea of the disintegration of wilderness and its impending loss. Of great importance to Levers is the notion that there may be painful psychological and spiritual, as well as physical, consequences to the wanton destruction of the environment, that the loss of wilderness entails the loss of humankind's spiritual home. The idea of evoking presence through literal absence is a theme traceable back to Lewis's first leopard busts, and the sense of power and timelessness conjured by the broken and fragmented form is of ongoing interest to him.1 1.Laura Twiggs (ed) (2011) Dylan Lewis: Animal Bronzes 1989-2005: The Collectors' Guide, Cape Town: Pardus, page 125.
