Elizabeth Waggett is a British contemporary artist who creates free-spirited depictions of animals, skulls, and personal trinkets. Her work explores the profound relationship between value and purpose in our consumer-driven society. 

Speaking of the genesis of The Fragility of Power, Waggett reveals:
"Having lived on Manhattan for two years, I was feeling a sense of entrapment. I wanted to see 'real America' so we set out on a road trip, heading south, exploring the different places steeped in history, the people, the food, traditions and accents."

"On the road between Austin and Houston, I fell in love with the longhorns. Their symmetry, power and beauty, all while being very delicate in balance."

This silkscreen and giclée print is hand-finished with gold and platinum. From a limited edition of three, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
