This story stinks, Sue Bell's art is crap. Well yes, Sue Bell does make [crappy critter creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) and she is proud of it. This [sculptor does not work with clay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project), or stone or wood; her material of choice is horse manure. Not only is the idea original, but it's good for the environment, as the [slowly decomposing manure naturally fertilizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series) nearby plants. The Dung Bunnies, as they are called, come in the form of many different types of crappy critters such as donkeys, cats, turtles and even a married couple. How's that for a breath of fresh art? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal Waste Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new creative uses for unconventional materials, such as animal waste, in the art industry. - **Eco-friendly Sculptures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and environmentally friendly sculpting methods to reduce waste and promote eco-consciousness in the art industry. - **Upcycled Creations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the concept of upcycling and repurposing materials to create unique and innovative art pieces in the art industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate unconventional materials and sustainable practices in art creation to attract environmentally conscious consumers. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize unconventional and eco-friendly materials to design and manufacture innovative products. - **Sustainability Consulting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer consulting services to guide businesses in adopting sustainable practices, including the use of unconventional materials and upcycling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Gut Health Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pooch-pendant.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Upcycled Sculptural Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eps-expanded-polystyrene-serie.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Discarded Shoe-Created Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wu-series.md) - [Artful Bronze Horse Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deborah-butterfield-1.md)
