| Summary: | The animal pelt, in this case, the Leopard spots, or rosettes, are a recurring motif in my body of work. Now a recognizable and decorative accessory in the realm of fashion, wearing the leopard pattern as adornment has shifted through history to stand for meanings such as masculine authority, as when worn by Zulu warriors, to symbolizing wealth status in 18th century Europe .
