Painting and sculpting dingoes for an exhibition

in #art5 years ago (edited)

This was part of the crush exhibition where myself and a handful of artists were challenged with creating artworks relating to the Australian environment, wildlife conservation and raising awareness about waste and pollution.

I had an old Jerry can laying around and decided to put it to use. The artwork was titled "arid" a slight play on the unrelenting thirst of the mining and fracking companies in Australia.

This was the second attempt at sculpting a larger Dingo, the first version was not able to be fired. I had to work quicker to hollow out the sculpture before it had completely dried out.

I was also asked to do some promotional T-shirt designs where I incorporated elements from other artists works into the drawing. I've been on a short hiatus due to moving to a new place, being unwell and general chaos of life. Looking forward to posting again real soon.

Those sculptures are looking really cool. Such great expressions in their "faces."
