The Art of Taxidermy

Polly Morgan, a young British taxidermy artist, removes her subjects from their classic poses and habitats and challenging the viewer look that them as if for the first time.

"What [taxidermists] are trying to do is to recreate a wildlife image in 3D, a classic pose, something you'd see in the countryside. I am more interested in the moment between something dying and decaying - anything between a few hours and a week. There's something beautiful about that."
