INTRODUCTION FOR THE CAST IRON PROJECT

Title: Jerboa

Size: 7 3/4″ x 7 3/4″ x 7 3/4″

Material: Cast Iron

The jerboa is a tiny mouse-like creature that lives in North Africa and Asia. It looks almost like a cartoon character with it’s huge ears, big feet, long tail and tiny hands. However, it’s these features that allows this little animal to live in the harsh desert climate. They can hear tiny sounds with their ears, while their feet and tail means they can jump long distances. Not only did I want to capture the adorable nature of the jerboa itself, but I wanted to show how amazing nature adapts itself for survival.
