Mighty Joe

The Great Apes, such powerful and insightful animals. A link to our past and our future and yet still they face extinction. Out of respect, I burn thee...

This piece was submitted to a BBC Art Contest but was rejected due to not fitting the criteria of medium. Sadly pyrography is not deemed as one of the known art mediums (ie oil paint, acrylic paint, watercolour, graphite pencils, pastel, charcoal, etc.)

However I exhibited it in Langley Galleries in Rochester and it was sold to a London based art collector.
