About the work

Bull draws on the artist's understanding of prehistoric symbols and the natural world—sources that have long inspired human creativity.

Jo Kley brings ideas from ancient art and cave paintings into a contemporary sculpture, combining strength and imagination in a form that expresses the beauty of art.
