Love Art London

First we need a volunteer from the audience. Excellent, now we can begin. Watching an artist perform taxidermy right before your very eyes isn’t something you get to see every day. Amanda Sutton is one of an emerging generation of contemporary artists, along with the likes of Polly Morgan and Therese Farmer, who create beautiful artworks using this ancient craft. Taxidermy was all the rage in Victorian times and cabinets across the land were filled with curiosities of all shapes and sizes from birds to bears. Nowadays it’s not cool to kill animals simply to stuff them, which is why all of Amanda’s specimens are already dead, mostly road kill. As she works on a rodent in front of us, Amanda will be talking us through the art of taxidermy, why it’s such an important educational craft and why Walter Potter’s Museum is a home from home. Once in a lifetime experience? Yup.
