BESTIA URBANIS


I and several other artists were asked to create public art using existing newspaper boxes. There were no rules, other than the box needed to remain functional. Bestia Urbanis is approachable urban wildlife. It is art that is meant for interaction rather than just observation. It has soft fur that encourages petting and a face that is drawn in chalk and can be erased and replaced with supplies inside the box. The creature, much like the newspaper industry that it comes from, is endangered and possibly on its way to extinction.
