The brief for Islands in Danger was to design three panels that represented birds, reptiles and the breeding programme for the geographical area, without being too specific.Originally they were to incorporate lettering but this was dropped, and information boards were mounted below the panels.

I wrote the following statement with regard to the Spirit of the Jaguar commission, 'The distinctive markings of the Jaguar were the initial inspiration for these images. The coloured areas represent elements of the environment. Together they symbolise the powerful presence of the Jaguar in its natural surroundings.'

The finished works consisted of four panels (from artwork enlarged to 1 metre square) each with a different coloured stripe and markings.
