Description
“Last of the giant earthworms”
SOLD
In the early part of last century the giant earthworm was hunted for it’s meat and oil. Many inland forest communities have a long history of sustenance from harvesting earthworms. As the resource was valuable and the gentle giants easy to catch, demand far exceeded sustainable limits for giant earthworm stocks and they were hunted into extinction.
Painting measures 485 x 1190mm and is a second-hand print that I have adorned with my own style and humour. Paintings and frames are in second-hand condition so may have marks or dents but are generally in good condition and ready to hang.
Since 2012 I have been adding my spin on those old op-shop prints that no one wants. I see it as re-interpreting a scene that someone else has setup, telling the punch-line to a joke, giving a tired print a new lease of life. Many of the paintings can also be purchased as prints.
