One-off, welded sculpture of two wolves, howling. Enamel over bronze depicting colours of the American flag. In the US, the republican presidency (2017 to 2021) gave the green light to start hunting 'without restraint' wolves and their pups and hibernating animals in Alaskan wildlife refuges. Meanwhile, Yellowstone National Park is thriving due to the reintroduction of wolves which created a complete turnaround of the formerly ailing eco system. Controlling the deer brought back more diverse wildlife and vegetation and even changed the course of rivers, "a happy outcome to counter the aggression of the pro gun lobby groups. It seems at the moment our world is caught between the appalling and the hopeful. [In response] to events around the world - we comment - we protest, we lament. Canines howl to signal, to warn, to claim, to join together" (Lucy).
