Polly Morgans Psychopomps!












These photo's were taken by me at the Psychopomps Exhibition in London. It consists of four suspended taxidermy sculptures, each poised between metamorphosis and flight. Named Psychopomps after the mythical creatures that conduct souls into the after-life. the link to the website of the exhibition is:

Taxidermy - A Dying Art or The Art of Dying

http://www.angelasinger.com/
If you click on this link it will lead you to the website of English artist and animal rights activist Angela Singer. Look at her work and leave your comments please. I will post a different link to a different artist every few days for you to comment on using the same following questions to help you, and me, to understand your perceptions of taxidermy in contemporary art.
How does it make you feel when you look at it?
Would you go to an exhibition that was displaying dead animals in this way?
