TARRED & feathered

My interest in taxidermy began as a fascination with both the animal in its natural state and the science of recreating the animal, its aesthetics and delicate beauty. Themes such as life, death, beauty and escapism are explored, sometimes from moments or happenings I experience in my life. My use of taxidermy can evoke powerful emotions and inspire our morbid curiosity surrounding death. Representations of humans are introduced in the form of dolls and the choice of animal is deliberate and used as a symbolic reference to the themes I explore in my work.
