This foray into non-functional, small scale sculptural work is the result of her love of animals....and her habit of collecting and saving things that would otherwise often be thrown away. Many wild animals have now become urban and live in the cities amongst our homes and industries. This work is a playful attempt to create environments and stories for (her own representations of) these creatures with found pieces, both natural and man-made, that she and her partner have collected over the years or found for the purpose.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal
