THE VULNERABLE BLAMED: Pangolin

 

The vulnerable are often blamed for the abuse they suffer.
Pangolins, the planet's most trafficked animal, and listed as a vulnerable species, were unfairly blamed for interspecies transmission of the Covid-19 virus early in the pandemic.
Pangolins were neither responsible, nor complicit in humans eating them.

Those with power rarely use it wisely and escape justice by deflecting blame.
Here, the Ancient Pangolin in me offers protection when I am vulnerable.

 

The 4th in a projected series of 12 Ancients. Each a different facet of the artist.

 

Textile, leather, polystyrene, polymer clay & resin.

 

Watch the making of the Pangolin in the ‘Film’ section of the ‘About’ pull-down menu.
