A NEW Zealand artist has sculpted the head of the government's environment minister out of cow dung in a conservation protest.
Sculptor Sam Mahon from Canterbury in the South Island usually works in bronze but he adapted his technique to fill a cast with cow dung, finishing with a bronze-like bust of minister Nick Smith.
The artist said on Thursday he was upset about plans to dam a local river and the pollution of waterways by effluent from dairy farms. More...
