An interpretation of the story of Cain and Able
“Inspired by the Biblical story of Cain and Able. While Sheep may appear to be docile animals, males can show very aggressive behaviour towards one another causing series injuries, some of which fatal. This piece tells us that if it happened once it can happen again, brothers attacking brothers, sheep attacking sheep. ”
