About the piece:
To get inspiration , Carroll unearthed old boxes of photographs she had taken whilst living in Africa. Whilst sifting through she realised many of the species she had taken photos of were now endangered, their numbers shrinking at an alarming rate. This led to her establishing ENDANGERED INKS as her way to help conservation. ‘In the Heat of the Day’ captures the moment when a mother cheetah and her cubs return from a waterhole as it is getting hot. Carroll had the privilege of watching this family, and was enthralled by the mother, who surprised everyone when she made a kill that afternoon to feed her babies.
