Kelly McCallum

"I am interested in the stories of how things age, how they decay or are preserved, are forgotten, covered in shrouds of grime, only to be found again and given new meanings by our own sentimentality. Taxidermy seeks to preserve life by celebrating death: it is a strange half-live, a suspension, an illusion."
Kelly McCallum
By using stuffed animals McCallum transforms death into a beautiful art work. Using stuffed antique taxidermy with expensive  embellishments create a new life.
