"Animal Testing"
Air-dry clay, wood, paint, colored ink.
Left sculpture 4" x 4". Right sculpture 4" x 4".
I wanted to show the animal cruelty that takes place with animal testing in labs. I included a scientist in a lab coat along with a rabbit placed inside a cage. I put blood on the scientist and as well on the pedestal that she rests on to symbolize all the bloodshed with animal testing over the years. The bunny is supposed to be in rough shape to represent the gruesome mistreatment of animals. I included a clipboard to show that scientists perform various harmful tests on these animals just to gather research information. I wanted to bring more attention to the negative implications of animal testing through my sculptures.
