Artwork description:

I really believe in the power of art to melt people’s hearts and touch them in powerful ways to really affect change in the world. I created this Baby Orangutan sculpture to raise awareness and money for the Orangutan Appeal. I want my work to support love and care of animals of every type. We already support animals charities with every one of our sales, but I was really moved by the specific plight of orangutans and wanted to do a piece specifically for them.

The Orangutan Appeal strives to protect remaining wild populations of orangutans by providing support and funding for projects across Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo. In this case, I researched lots of source material, working from lots of photographs of orangutans in a variety of poses and modelling it in clay. I very much hope that one day I’ll be able to travel and visit these wonderful animals in the wild.

This bronze Baby Orangutan statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Orangutan sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
