Effects of unintentional mistreatment
Drawing
Prismacolor on paper
I am an advocate for giving guinea pigs a voice of their own through art. Guinea pigs are pets that are supposedly easy to care for. However, if they are injured, and people realise the effort required to treat their injuries, they are often abandoned into the many overflowing guinea pig rescues. My body of work represents how their bodies suffer the physical effects of unintentional harm inflicted on them due to misinformation spread by the media. This work is a tribute to guinea pigs unintentionally harmed through wrong advice, based on real x-rays that bluntly display their wounds.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Cj Hendry, Banksy, Ai Weiwei.
