About the Work

As an advocate for wildlife and habitat conservation, Mick Brown uses mostly recycled materials to construct his artworks. Dream Rider represents a wedge-tail eagle rising to glory from the wake of consumerism. With giant wings reborn from discarded surfboards and a powerful body emerging from reclaimed metal signs and over 300 indestructible polypropylene paint buckets, Dream Rider is here to embrace all that is Australian wildlife and habitat.
