Because the project was inspired by an actual tiger rug, it was important for me to view a tiger rug at the Biodiversity Institute & Natural History Museum to take accurate measurements of the specimen. My goal was to create a metal life-sized head that had a similar emotional impact as the real taxidermy head.
