"A friend of mine loaned me the collectible toy circus set and it has been in my studio for a few months now on the shelf crying out to be made into a little story. I bought a collection of zoo animals and invented a tale whereby the circus procession falls apart as the tigers’ cage door slides open and the two beasts escape. The first tiger sits in front of the lit match, deciding its next move with its hot breath pushing into the flame. The ringmaster using all his skills to regain control of the situation as the giraffe looks on." Andrew Talbot
