Athena, Matriarch big tusker from the Elephant Queen movie with youngsters

Bronze

Signed and numbered limited edition of 12

83 x 28 x 14cm

Inspired by Athena, the leading ‘lady’ in The Elephant Queen movie, withher daughter being pestered to play by the rough and tumble youngster of the family. This bronze aims to bring attention not only to elephants but to big tuskers, who are so few. Camilla travelled to Kenya in 2017 where she started by measuring and studying elephant taxidermies and skeletons in the Nairobi National Museum. She then combined referencing the film footage and sculpting from life from her mobile studio/adapted Land Rover, in various parks and at elephant orphanages. She sought to capture a physical likeness, their unique characters, as well as the correct anatomy.
