Artist Statement
Stefan protects hunters from other creatures in the woods. The ecosystem in which Stefan resides is a forest, full of tall birch trees with leaves that are forever red, and lakes with lots of fish and other water creatures. Stefan has a pelican neck, head and beak with small beady black eyes. He also has porcupine quills that drape over the end of his back and he also has a maned fox body and a swishy anteater tail for communicating with other creatures.
Stefan is made from paper mache and other materials for its exterior finish. First I made the body shape with newspaper, then covered it up with paper mache and added the eyes within this process. To make it set within a scene, I attach him to a block of wood, then decorated him with a range fluffy yarn, feathers and leaves for the grass. His pose shows that he is galloping gracefully to show that there is danger around him.
