Original artwork description:

Half-cat, half-lemur, Keeno with his big clear eyes is a member of the SakinoOz family.

Like all SakinoOz, Keeno pleads a cause: NO to handbags made from the leather of scaly beasts, YES to creatures made from unstructured fake scale handbags, in fake leather of course!

Keeno was made from a shiny black vinyl scale handbag, which was then destructured and restructured differently to form its body, and sewn back together section by section where it joins.

Its tail is sewn into a plush acrylic wool fabric, with a flexible wire inside to give it any shape you like. Its eyes are made of blown glass, and the wood of small natural gourds from the south of France has been used and sculpted for the back of the eyes.

Materials: scaly vinyl fabric, blown glass, calabash wood, plush wool acrylic fabric, pink clay paste, acrylic paint, marine varnish Dimensions: seated approx. H30 x W23 x D 46 cm, with tail 80 cm Weight approx. 1.2 kg

Materials used:

simili cuir, fausse fourrure, papier mâché
