Taxidermy is already a rather disturbing art form, Andrew Lancaster's work simply takes it to the next level. Instead of focusing on the stuffing of regular animals, he has decided to mix and match body parts to create haunting hybrid creatures that will give even the most stalwart of us nightmares.
Originally from the United Kingdom, Andrew Lancaster is currently living and working in New Zealand. Having always dabbled in taxidermy creations, he writes that over the past few years, he has "developed a wild and wackiness to [his] taxidermy items." Considering that many crafts change and develop over time, it is only natural that he would explore new ways of expression in his chosen art form.
