Holy Cow by Von Grey
Von Grey talks about Holy Cow
About the story behind Holy Cow Von Grey says-
"This piece is inspired by a sacred cow I met at the Satchidananda Lotus Temple in Coimbatore, India. On that day everybody was celebrating Pongal, The streets were decorated with brightly coloured rice mandalas and the air was alive with the smells of delicious food. As the temple keeper washed a statue of Ganesha with milk I saw the cow standing nearby. She was painted like a god and decorated with trinkets that sparkled in the sun and it made me think of the cows back home and the harsh lives they have, despite giving us their milk everyday. Large supermarket chain's demand for cheap milk have ruined dairy farming in the UK and it's the cows that pay the price. So this is my tribute to cows everywhere, they are amazing, sentient, loving creatures. Thanks for all the cheese and the leather boots."
