I mean how can you NOT love her work...Polly Morgan creates amazing little worlds with taxedermy...with humour and macabre edge....small chandelieres illuminate birds on their literary death beds...foxes curl up in glass bowls....and a ball of black wings explode with a silent frenzy.....
These tableaus are silent little Memento Mori.....often highlighting animals on their deathbed...unlike traditional taxedermy which usually tries to show the animal reanimated.....Her work evokes a more somber tone....however...like many of the "darker" things i admire...she also threads humour throught her work......balloons carry small birds while others primp in front of mirrors...
Delicate and evocative....Thoughtful and detailed...Polly's work always makes me lose my breath.....
XOXO
