Notes : Lot 377 and 378 are from 'the Leopard Creek set, a series of 18 sculptures in which I explore the leopard form in a progression of different attitudes (from a state of repose through to awakening, hunting, stalking and killing). It was a project that allowed me to explore the animal in depth in terms of its form and what it represented to me. Here I explore the suppleness of the relaxed cat, the curve of the tail echoing in the form of the stretched body.' Dylan Lewis
