Specialist note

'...The animals I make are far more what I feel about them than what they are in real life ... I'm much more interested in the spirit of the animal. I get into the inside of the animal, and the outside takes care of itself' (Elisabeth Frink quoted in E. Lucie-Smith, Frink A Portrait, London, 1994, pp. 121-123).
