The Rhinoceros Series

Dürer's iconic Rhinoceros print was the inspiration for this piece of work. Despite its anatomical inaccuracies, Dürer's woodcut became very popular in Europe and was copied many times in the following three centuries. It was regarded by Westerners as a true representation of a rhinoceros into the late 18th century. The Rhinoceros then was seen as a symbol of power, today they are poached relentlessly and sadly their horns are worth more than their weight in gold.
