A ceramic replica of a KFC meal complete with carton, chips, gravy, chicken and even a napkin is finger lickin’ good according to library goers on the northern beaches
Brett Ferguson, of Frenchs Forest, created the artwork which is now on display at Warringah Mall Library.
He attends Unisson Disability’s Art Studio in Terrey Hills where he has created artworks in a range of mediums including drawings and paintings, paper pulp and ceramics.
Mr Ferguson has previously created a ceramic cola can and packet of crisps which received such positive feedback that he was inspired to create a complete KFC meal.
He started project in July last year and Mr Ferguson used all his technical skills and experience to create the realistic effects using clay.
“Being such a large and technical project Brett required my support to engineer the boxes and some of the finer details, but the rest is his own work,” Sharyn Sonter, Unisson Art Facilitator, said.
When asked what was his favourite part of the piece and what will he work on next? Brett said, “I liked doing all of it. I was good at making the chips, the potato gravy, the spoon and the little bun.
“The chicken might have been the hardest. I am happy that it is finished and now I’m making my niece Elly a smaller KFC meal.”
Unisson Disability regularly displays the artworks of artists with physical and/or intellectual disability at local libraries and currently has ceramic displays at Warringah Mall and Forestville libraries.
