Narrated by Derek Jones
Jonathan Kenworthy is a young English sculptor who spends four months of the year on safari in the Kenyan savannahs and deserts. On each visit he gathers impressions of Africa and sketches incidents of animal and human behaviour to provide a bank of ideas for his sculptures.
This film shows how the sculptures develop out of the sketches through successive stages of plasticine and wax until the final casting of molten metal. The bronzes that Kenworthy creates in this way have a world-wide reputation for dramatically combining the very essence of the African environment with the forms of animals and tribesmen.
