Background: This carving is based on a traditional Chinese lacquer design, the dragon places the front paw on the pearl of wisdom. The natural colour change in the stone has been utilised to enhance the pearl.

Kowloon is a response to visiting Hong Kong and Kowloon in 1976. I have always been fascinated with Chinese culture.

There is over 300 hours of carving in this sculpture.
