Ian Rawlinson's Chimera series is inspired by a black-and-white film clip of the last Thylacine in captivity. This film prompted Rawlinson to create images which deal with ideas of a vanished past: transformation and memory. The work combines part of the now-extinct Thylacine with places in Cambridge from Rawlinson's past primarily Arbury and King's Hedges. These places have a nostalgic feeling and are reminders of a childhood spent in and around the newly created housing the nearby farmland and derelict army base. In recent years he has returned to the area to make a short film and other artwork which is now part of a large body of Cambridge-inspired work.
