Elephant dung heels


ARTIST

Christopher  Ofili -  Is an english Turner Prize winning painter who is best know for incorporating elephant dung in his paintings










                                       SOME OF HIS PAINTINGS USING ELEPHANT DUNG



 London-based designer, INSA,  created the elephant dung shoes entitled " anything goes when it comes to shoes' as a response to the famous work of Chris Ofili.  INSA retraced Ofili’s footsteps, from over 15 years ago, and used dung from the same family of elephants Ofili preferred. Just to be clear, we’re not talking about dung taken directly off the ground and slapped on the shoes.The material is treated to avoid putrefaction.

Featuring a 10-inch tall platform, made out of elephant dung
