Fixed Edition - Edition Size: 600
Artist: Peter Calvesbert - Made in UK
Peter’s brightly tinted frog box figurine is
based on tree frogs found in the world’s rainforests.
Colourful creatures often use their vibrancy as a warning to
predators to keep away. While Peter was researching this model, he learned
that there is a word for it – Aposematic. Crypsis, on the other hand,
describes creatures that blend in with their surroundings to hide from predators.
The letters K.I.T.W are inscribed on this fixed edition box figurine and
reference the eccentric artist Kit Williams, best known for an
illustrated book containing clues to the whereabouts of a hidden golden hare.
Peter still has his old copy. A recent radio programme about
Kit’s life prompted him to go online and discover, once and for all,
the secrets of the book.
