Ford emphasizes the connection between his collection and his artistic purpose, stating that seeing the vintage animal figures each day is a daily reminder of what my purpose is.
He reflects on how these vintage figures, made from composite materials including metal and sawdust, resonate with his work, particularly in studying animal anatomy.
The history behind these figures fascinates him, as they were primarily produced by just two companies in Germany before WWII, making them rare collectibles today.
Ford recounts the journey of his collection, starting with a small zebra purchased by his wife in the '80s, leading to his current collection of around 50 pieces.
