This project is the result of a sculpture contest. This summer, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals requested
proposals nationwide for a "message cow" they wanted designed by an artist. They stated that the cow would
promote a leather-free lifestyle, and they had the idea of using a resin cow covered in leather.
These images are of a maquette I made to accompany my proposal.
