THIS SOLID CLAY STUDY FOR A BRONZE CAST.  THIS GORILA ,IN A THOUGHTFULL STANCE,ASKING HIMSELF: '' HOW COULD HUMANS EVER THINK TO BE RELATED TO US? WE DON´T ENSLAVE OUR NEIGHBORS,WE DON´T PEE IN RIVERS WHERE WE DRINK,I DON´T KILL FOR SPORT,I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GOING TO MARS. NO, WE JUST CAN´T BE RELATED !!
 

THIS CLAY STILL HAS TO BE BISCUIT FIRED,BUT I INTEND TO MAKE A MOULD AND IN A NEAR FUTURE CAST A BRONZE VERSION. I LOVE JAPANESE MONKEYS,HOW THEY ADDAPT TO A HARSH WINTER,SPENDING HOURS IN NATURAL HOT WATER  POOLS! IT MEASURES:  L  28CM x  H 16CM  x   W  13CM
