ARTWORK DESCRIPTION: Nick Mackman is a close watcher of animals, their actions, reactions and general behaviour. Based on her observations in Zambia, Nick wanted to capture the sheer joy of baby elephants wallowing in mud, surrounded by their family and with not a care in the world! Her sculpture depicts a baby elephant thoroughly enjoying the sensation of squidgy mud with happiness expressed from its face through to its tail.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Nick Mackman’s art is informed by her life-long love of animals and most of her sculptures are based on observations made in the wild, reflecting a concern for preserving endangered species. Nick grew up with a dog by her side and learned from an early age that every animal has its own distinctive personality. As an artist, her work is a continually evolving exploration of animal behaviour. Nick never starts a new piece without making that connection with her subject. She needs to understand the animal, its environment, behaviour and personality; know its story and what it’s feeling.
