Sophie Ryder on mythology, majestic animals and the male-dominated field of sculpture

 

'The idea for 'The Boar' entered my mind following a trip to Provence last summer where I came across a wild boar that had been shot dead in the vines; winemakers in this region cull them to protect their grapes. 

I was intrigued by their anatomy, which is both fear-instilling yet beautiful, prehistoric and majestic all at the same time.'
