The Wolf You Feed Tie-Neck Silk Blouse draws inspiration from a wide range of sources. The wolf motif was first inspired by the incredible dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and recognises the extirpation and near-extinction of the gray wolf from the United States due to a program fuelled by human prejudice and fear. The titular phrase references an ancient Cherokee legend; every man has two wolves fighting inside of him. One is angry, greedy and resentful, while the other is kind, peaceful and loving. Which wolf will win? The wolf you feed. Many of the details within this design were inspired by the art of fraternal societies, re-purposed to represent a reverence for nature, including the golden fleece. Nineteenth century, hand painted parcheesi boards provided references for many of the pattern details, while the plight of the naïve chipmunk alludes to a second, pertinent legend.
