Dylan Mooney is included in Fantastical Sharks & Rays at the Australian Museum.
The Australian Museum has teamed up with the Australian Marine Conservation Society and Humane Society International to highlight some of Australia’s threatened sharks and rays in Fantastical Sharks & Rays. The exhibition features the work of budding and established Australian artists.
Did you know that many Australian shark and ray species are being threatened with extinction due to overfishing? Some of these species are so rare that we know very little about what they look like. To help raise awareness, the Australian Museum invited children to use their imagination to bring these mysterious creatures to life. Young Australians, aged 15 and under, were asked to create an artwork depicting a uniquely Australian shark or ray. Ten entries were selected from the 1,500 submissions to be the inspiration for 10 leading Australian artists, including Dylan Mooney.
The works of these remarkable young artists are on display side-by-side with the works created by 10 renowned Australian artists at the Australian Museum.
