Hip Hip Decay Sculpture Ottenique

Hip Hip Decay sculpture Ottenique is created by the wonderfully talented Ballarat artist Suzanne McRae. Suzanne has imagined and brought to life these amazing ‘one of a kind’ animal sculptures. Her pervious life as a costume designer is evident by her use of beautiful vintage textiles and trims. Materials such as calico, paint, wire, clay and antique spools help bring her quizzical creatures to life and she gives each one a charming name.

Beautiful things now decrepit, once cherished objects now paused in a parallel place. Suzanne’s animals are the anthropomorphic bridge between human and creature.

This cute creepy foxy fellow is called Ottenique and he stands on an antique spool and base and is approx 50cm tall. He has a beautiful foxy tail and cute fur ears poking out of his velvet cap which matches his velvet shoes.His torso has a panel of vintage obi silk and he looks like he is ready to entertain us.
