Cow Parade Kid's Kowstruction. Kid's Kowstruction stands 7. 5'' tall and is made of resin. Location: CM2--Children's Museum, Portland, Oregon Artist: Chris Keylock Williams Sponsor: Walsh Construction Co. This project is for and about kids, so the artist wanted this cow to be something that would delight people of all ages, but especially children. In fact, she says, ''I could visualize children building this cow with their erector sets and toys. Since the sponsor of this cow is a construction firm, I thought it would be nice to design a cow that appreciates their contribution.'' Her natural love in art is shape, design and color. She saw the cow as more of a three-dimensional sculptural object and opportunity rather than a two-dimensional painting surface. Her first thought was, ''How can I re-create a cow? What fun!''
