One-of-a-kind hand sculpted art-doll by Australian artist Dina Goebel.

This ‘Cocky Girl’ is part of a series which portrays the commercialisation of women, birds and our native wildlife .. thereby endangering so much habitat and ecosystems, we dont even realise it. Birds (a slang for women) seem caught up in a world of fashion, beauty and products in the effort to wear an unnatural facemask that drive this conflict … perhaps its all part of mothers nature plan to preen and strut, who knows?

‘Cocky Girl’ is an Australian Sulphur-crested cockatoo that frequents the Victorian east coast and other parts of Australia. A beloved larrakin in our bushland, I have adorned this girl with her signature crest and hand-made clay feathers, which are beaded and adorned with miniature clay flowers. Her cape is colored fabric and her body is the same as all the runway birds, a unique sculpt cast in resin.

She stands 40cm tall, 15cm wide and 15cm deep. Either freestanding or on her timber base – this is not a child’s toy, rather it is a unique sculpture to be carefully positioned away from direct sunlight and ideally viewed from several angles.
