Sculptor makes likeness of politician using cow manure

A sculpture (shown below) of New Zealand ACC and Environment Minister Nick Smith was made out of cow manure by artist Sam Mahon.


Mahon did the Nick Smith poo-a-like in protest of Smith's too-soft position on dairy farm pollution.

Mr. Mahon says the bust does not smell and will last forever. That was indeed good news for the new owner of the sculpture, which was sold on auction site TradeMe.co.nz. for $3,000.
