The Wick Culture - Still Birth (Red), Polly Morgan

Art Still Birth (Red), Polly Morgan

Art meets animal in the work of Polly Morgan, dubbed by Banksy as ‘Britain’s hottest bird stuffer’. Taking the genre of ‘still life’ to literal levels, the self-taught taxidermist aims to celebrate the beauty and poignancy of the natural world by displaying her subjects in unexpected ways: such as her now-iconic glass-domed bird. Though the work and its title feels dark in undertone, the creature’s graceful suspension by balloon brings a touch of life-affirming serenity.

These works were originally conceived as part of Polly’s 2010 exhibition ‘Still Life’, created exclusively for Other Criteria’s Hinde Street shop in London. Still Birth (Red) is an edition of 10 and available to purchase from Polly’s online shop of works.
