"As someone who sculpts a lot of African wildlife I naturally need all of the 'Big 5' in my portfolio. Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo. I wanted to capture just a life size bust with the buffalo staring down his nose at a perceived threat. Anyone who has spent time with these intelligent, vengeful and highly dangerous animals knows 'that look'. As a famous big game hunter put it, "They stare at you like you owe them money". Nose up, eyes wide open with the whites showing. On a good day he might just snort, whirl around and thunder off in a cloud of dust. I'll leave your imagination to conjure up what a bad day could look like."
