Cast bronze sculpture of two baboons reading a book, parent and child. This is a marquette of a larger full-scale piece that was displayed and sold at the bi-annual Auckland Botannical Gardens sculpture show. 

 

The work has morphed since it's initial conception. The sudden death of David, Lucy's father, aged 76, has influenced the story of this piece. Where once there was suspicion and undertones of indoctrination, there has been a shift towards love, reflected mainly in the youngster's hand reaching out to touch the parent's arm (where before both arms were tucked inward). In the current version of the sculpture, there is a stronger connection between adult and child.
