Eyes of the Aye-Aye

Eyes of the Aye-Aye
Catherine Smith
About the piece:
A long-standing catalyst for Catherine’s work is creating a connection between humans and wildlife. Allowing time for visiting wildlife refuges and sanctuaries means Catherine observes the natural behaviours of animals, and later uses this as a reference for her work. ‘Eyes of the Aye-Aye’ represents the endangered long-fingered lemur. The Aye-Aye is native to Madagascar and is the world’s largest nocturnal primate.
