Genuine leather is a life-sized cow soft sculpture made from locally sourced reclaimed leather couches. The piece appropriates the false idol symbolism of the cow from the golden calf story sourced from the Torah to reinterpret the ‘rectangular cow’ form from 18th century paintings commissioned by aristocrats to exemplify their larger than life cattle.
