Life-sized fibreglass cows were decorated by various artists and placed in the streets, parks, arcades, buildings and foreshores of the city. The cows became a part of the city’s landscape, appearing in areas where people work, shop, eat and play.

"Although my original concept was to do a Blue and White Sydney Harbour Cow, on reflection I realised that all the other artists work I had seen had treated the cow as an object to put some kind of decorated pattern or design on, but I felt no one had treated the cow as the "artist". To this end, I simply turned the tail into a brush and I had the cow carry his, or her, own paint palette, and then topped our cow artist off with a classic artists’ beret”. Ken Done
