Taxidermy





Taxidermy has always fascinated me. There is something about those dead eyes that seem all too real. It really is life captured in motion. But why; how is seeing a stuffed bird representational of seeing a real pelican soar over the marshlands? Is it really any more sufficient then a painting, or photograph?

However, when used in Graphic Design, taxidermy has a whole new approach. It is no longer about representing the creature it holds within, but about expressing how it surreal the concept it: How fantastical and faux.
