Throughout our working lives the people we meet influence the way we think and behave; like sheep, we take cues from one another. Time passes and much stays the same, but at some point everything shifts: we re-assess, we move on and in our minds we find a place where those sheep may safely graze.

The print echoes this mystical world with an ancient style capturing the tension between man and animal. While both are united and inter-dependent a sense of dominance remains: the grand ''mane'' worn by human, being the only challenge to the true masculinity of the beast.
