My bear was at the time the largest commission I had undertaken. He stands nearly nine feet tall, and all that shaggy fur had to be textured as well as shaped to fit onto the frame – hours of work on each piece. He is clutching at a salmon he has just scooped up, and is fitted with pumped water piped into his arms and the fish, which then drains through slots in the prepared paving where he stands.

Price on application.
