Devious Journal Entry

Journal Entry: Mon May 16, 2011, 4:13 PM


People often ask me how I make the sculptures, so I put WIP photos and descriptions in my scrapbook: [link]

Yes, I do taxidermy.  I understand that some people might find it cruel, but I think in light of how animals are impacted by our everyday activities (where our meat and leather comes from, how many of our products have been tested on animals, habitat loss due to development), sustainable hunting and taxidermy aren't such a big deal.  I think that we've become detached from the ways we actually impact animals, and taxidermy makes us uncomfortable because it confronts us with natural cycles of life and death and our place in those cycles.

I have a BA in Art with an emphasis in sculpture and did artwork for the Smithsonian during a model making internship. Most of the sculptures in my gallery are from college classes and some of the 2D work is too. The rest I do for my own enjoyment.

I prefer animal, anthro, nature, spiritual, dark, and fantasy themes. I'm interested in dreams and the subconscious and how images from these relate ideas to us.

Has it arrived yet? I think I have a tracking number somewhere if you'd like it. It's also insured, but hopefully will get there safely.
