Anastasia Nelson - Painter & Sculptress
Furlandia
This sculpture is very personal as it depicts animals that are in the "Accidental Animal Rescue Center" that I have established along with my partner.
It is the result of an experiment that I did. Instead of wood, I used sculpting materials (plaster of paris) and also played with slightly different dimensions than originally laid out.
These animals come to us, either dropped off anonymously, on their own, or as the result of accidents.
There are a variety in the Center - from a llama and donkey down to a tiny one-eyed dog (see photo below). They come in all sizes and shapes. Most have been abandoned and/or abused. Many cannot be re-homed and live with us.
