Inscription description

on plaque on plinth: Fox / Sally Matthews / This sculpture is made entirely from re-cycled materials, including tools, chains, nuts and bolts. / "Everyone has their own reasons for using animals in art, but for me I always go back to the / animals themselves for inspiration. My love of them for their different form, movement [,] smell and / nature are the reasons for my making them. Their nature even of a domesticated or trained animal / is unpredictable and wild, their presence is always enlivening [.] I want my work to remind people of / our need for animals and the example their nature provides us with."
