Surreal taxidermy by Karley Feaver. These were exhibited in Feaver’s solo exhibition, Becoming Otherwise (2013) at the Saatchi & Saatchi Gallery in Auckland. Taking the common tendency of birds to preen themselves while attracting a mate, Feave explore the absurdity of beauty and adornment. Feaver has stated, “ I am exploring how each one could exist in a domestic setting by adapting to their surroundings. Through this, my investigations of the animals have developed by morphing animals and other various objects into newly formed creations.” -- source link
