From Specimen to Contemporary Taxidermy

la Singer, Garden.Julia deVille  is an artist, jeweller and taxidermist who only uses subjects in her taxidermy that have died of natural causes. She is an advocate for animal rights, and began including taxidermy in her art work since 2002, combining it with her jewellery making practice to produce small sculptures and installations.

Walter Potter, the Victorian age’s best-known anthropomorphic taxidermist, opened a private museum in 1861 to showcase his creations; he’d taxidermied 10,000 animal specimens by the end of his life. His elaborate displays included scenarios like kittens drinking tea and playing croquet at a garden party, squirrels smoking cigars and playing poker, and rabbits studying in a classroom.
