‘Suzi and I pulled out our sketch book and made a graphite line drawing as a huge male polar bear ambled, stiff legged, towards the huge tyres and craned up at us. He was so close we could smell his meaty, steaming breath. I took a black and white photo at point-blank range as the battle-scarred boar stood on its hind legs and peered up at us and marvelled at the width of his wedge-shaped head and broad powerful mussel. His moist nose seemed to possess a life all of its own; twitching and sensing our every move as his jet eyes penetrated deep into mine. I wondered what he made of us both- transient trespassers, caged curios in his polar zoo performing our strange brand of drawing just out of his reach‘
