Cow Up A Tree

Cow Up a Tree by John Kelly | Melbourne Public Art

John Kelly
2000

I had this photo for a year before I finally did anything with it, one night after mapping it I finally gave it a google and was surprised by the amount of photographs Google had. Cows really do get stuck in trees and this artwork became more than just a whimsical sight but an artwork raising awareness for animal welfare during times of extreme weather events.

It's titled 'Cow up a Tree' and sits along the Docklands water edge just outside the Marvel Stadium. 

The name John Kelly is really familiar to me and I haven't yet discovered why, I'm getting the distinct impression I've photographed his work before but am yet to discover and blog which.
