A music video for UK art-pop group Stealing Sheep, featuring a bust sculpture by Natasha Lawes as a central visual element alongside live performance footage.

The scouts
Morris and Stealing Sheep have a genuine collaborative visual language — the bust becomes a third performer, and the decision to commission practical sculpture rather than CGI gives this a tactile strangeness you can't fake.
Bespoke bust sculpture as co-performer in a Stealing Sheep video. Cute. Doesn't elevate it beyond polished UK indie-pop content.
A Natasha Lawes bust stands in dialogue with Stealing Sheep throughout — Morris treating a craft object as co-equal screen presence. Modest in scope, charming in execution.
