“I had always seen gorilla sculptures done on all fours with that mean posture and attitude. They are not at all like that. Although they do have a formidable look on their faces and sculpture can’t get around that, they are not in the least bit aggressive. They are a passive, kind, shy introverted animal. I designed this piece expressly for a zoo setting. I made a real conscious effort to design the Gorilla so that kids would not fear it and would climb on it and sit on its lap. I wanted it to lie in quiet repose.”
