Kevin Dunne, Dunkirk, New York
Australian soldiers earned a reputation for toughness and tenacity during the Allied landings at Gallipoli in World War I. Kevin takes a tongue-in-cheek look at that with his uniformed red kangaroo, a bust sculpted by Gary Higgins, that he painted with artist's oils over acrylics. Kevin anchored the figure, titled "Fancy a Waltz Matilda," with a base topped with a map of the battlefield.
