Description
The mythical Post Colonial Bunyip humorously readdressed the natural order of things in contemporary native Australia. In this work, the mythical Bunyip has been displaced and brought into postcolonial context. Incorporating material reference to Australian native and feral animals through the use of kangaroo fur and deer antlers, these are combined with a colonial outfit and human features like the erratic disembodied eyeball that darts around in uneasy agitation. This Frankensteinian assemblage is fussed with a mechanical undercarriage; Post Colonial Bunyip is now able to traverse its new postcolonial urban environment.
