"Life Can Be So Nice" Dead Animal Font
3,919 Views - Click for Larger Image

I love animals and don’t really approve of traditional taxidermy, however I must admit I am drawn to Iris Shieferstein‘s series, “Life can be so nice”.

In this piece, the Danish artist’s dead animals, having been through the taxidermy process, are used as a really messed up dead animal font. Animals such as little pigs, snakes, birds, and other small creatures are combined into new species and posed to spell out a refrain from the Prince song “Life can be so nice.”

Not really sure where the Prince song comes in, but even without this knowledge, I think it makes a really strong statement.

If I had to choose one aspect of this piece that made my flesh crawl, it would most certainly by the owl head used as the ‘s’ in ‘so’.

Eep. Taxidermy freaks me out. My landlord left a giant stuffed duck in my garage, wings extended. I nailed it to the wall so it would stop staring at me every time I parked.

I have such mixed feelings about this... it's an interesting idea, yet really creepy.
