Jonathan Benington discusses the present work, the origins of which stem to a 2001 trip which Ryder made to Canada. He elaborates 'During their stay in British Columbia, the family visited the Rockies and came across a magical place known as Paint Pots, where Native Canadians had once extracted natural ochre bubbling up out of large pools in the ground in order to use it in their paintings' (Jonathan Benington, Sophie Ryder, Lund Humphries, Farnham, 2001, p.114). A series of drawings on the theme was produced in which Ryder's familiar Lady Hare beings are composed against ochre backgrounds. The idea was then translated into the present maquette and a life-sized bronze.
