/HRSZD¿VK my design aims to build a positive, fun, and creative relationship between humans and the natural world. (a mix and match of wildlife)
This project focuses on play and education, using plush animal “hybrids” to bring attention to wild animal conservation. The end result will be a collection of plush animals that share a common theme; mix and match. Each plush will incorporate 2 animal species; each from different spectrums of the animal kingdom. (i.e. reptile with a mammal, fish with bird, etc.) The hybrid quality will come from the body of one animal mixed with the “graphic” patterning, texture or color of another animal.
Overall, this product aims to establish a positive relationship between the user and wild animal. The animal species chosen to mix and match were random except that they were opposite in taxonomic class.
