Heartebeest

This is an artwork I made during the HKU seminar "de kracht van intuïtie en jouw zintuigelijke waarneming" (the power of intuition and your senses). I really learned a great deal during that seminar. Mainly about trusting my "artistic guts" so to say. My intuition knows exactly what I need to do to make a good artwork, and I should listen to that, even when my mind can't rationalize it.

This is a creature I call a Heartebeast, a hartebeest with a human heart instead of a head (I used a model I made as a reference). I was fully in a flow state when I made this, and I can't explain why I did what I did (that was the point of the exercise), just that it worked out and that I'm proud of it.
