Creative protest...you decide





New Zealand artist Sam Mahon has taken his art into a fresh(!), new medium. Mahon has created a sculpture of New Zealand's Environment Minister Nick Smith from cow manure. The sculpture was concieved as a way of protesting Smith's laxit...er...lacksidaisical approach to protecting NZ's waterways from dairy farm pollutants. The head was created by mixing dry ground manure with polymer resin and pressing it into a mould. The artwork was sold through the NZ online bidding site, TradeMe, for $3080 (NZD).

Stay inspired!

Cheers,
Maurice
