Description
Karen Alsop’s Animal Tales exhibition is an exciting and captivating collection of photographic art pieces that showcase anthropomorphic local wildlife in unexpected humanlike places. Along with her Australian Animal collections, Karen also has on show her ever-popular Animal Puns series, which offers an interactive adventure for viewers who are challenged to find the idioms represented in each artwork.
The latest addition to Karen’s Animal Pun series is “Straya,” a panoramic wonderland set at Menzie Creek Station, Puffing Billy, that incorporates 50 Australian sayings into the piece. Karen has cleverly incorporated Aussie slang visually into a storytelling piece, including sayings such as “Madder than a cut snake” and “Tickets on yourself,” among many others.
This is Part 1 of the full artwork that stretches as a long Panorama. You can purchase this part of the artwork as an individual piece, or couple it with Part 1 and place them next to each other. Fine Art Panoramic prints are also available on request.
