Patrick Duffy
Anthropomorphis Australis (Macropus Coloialus) is designed to be an arresting statement that challenges convention and sparks conversations. This audacious creation doesn't just blend art and history; it invites you into a thought-provoking narrative.
The kangaroo stands as both a symbol and a provocation. Its colonial attire pays homage to history while embodying the stark reality of Australia’s past. This isn't merely a whimsical piece; it's a bold exploration of the complexities surrounding colonization.
