During my research for my dssertation , and looking at other artists I began searching for some materials I though i would like to use within my art. I looked for animal materials , which were difficult to source once I had decided what I had wanted. I searched for fox tails, fox ‘masks’ and skulls. This gave me the idea of looking back at atxidermy and how it began.. with taxidermy that was poorly carried out, and didnt look real, animals that were all higgledy piggedly, giving an amusing yet disturbing effect. I eventually had to order these parts from the USA, and wait for them to arrive. fox tails were unavailable, however a skull, two masks and some glass eyes were sent. I not only ordered fox eyes, but fish eyes and teddy bear eyes, as I remember in my research that some of the earlier taxidermists used teddy bear eyes within their work.
