Gillie and Marc
It was on a family trip to Egypt that sculptors Gillie and Marc Schattner were inspired by beautiful hybrid human/animal head sculptures and artwork, where the human then embodies the characteristics of that animal.
Gillie and Marc have always been crazy dog people, with their adoration for pups coming from the loyalty and unconditional love they show to humans. So why not put a dog head on a human body so a person can now obtain these admirable qualities?
Well that’s exactly what they did, and Dogman was born. But Dogman was lonely and needed a companion and it wasn’t long before Rabbitwoman was created, as an unlikely partner for Dogman. In the wild, these two species would not get along – the dog would chase the rabbit and probably attack and kill it.
In bringing these two unlikely companions together as best friends and soulmates, Gillie and Marc tell the tale we could in fact embrace our uniqueness and diversity and we should accept these differences, and not see them as problems.
Referred to by the media as “the world’s most loving artists”, this artistic duo has worked side by side for nearly 30 years, creating art as one and spreading the love they have for each other with the world.

We Ride Together in Love
‘We ride together in love’ incorporates two of Gillie and Marc’s most popular sculpture themes, Vespas and coffee. The artists have a soft spot for Vespas, because they give an excuse to hold tightly to one another.
This amazing sculpture has been installed in major cities across the world (and now at Soldiers Point) to show love and acceptance as part of the ‘Travel Everywhere With Love’ project.
“In our art we often say “We go together”. And it’s true, I’m the Dogman and she’s the Rabbitwoman, and we’re riding the Vespa together”, said Marc Schattner.
