About Me |
|
When I was a little girl, I fell madly in love with a room-sized display of articulated skeletons. I grew up in Boston, or rather; I grew up wandering about in the magical halls of the Harvard University Natural History Museums. There were skeletons of giraffe, antelope, monkeys, lemurs, and shrews…also scores of beautiful, exotic taxidermied animals and tropical birds of every hue. The exhibits were in beautiful old wooden vitrines, with tiny engraved brass plaques and hardware.I was enchanted by the strange beauty of it all… At home, we also had curiosity cabinet of sorts. Whenever we’d go for a hike or a walk on the beach, we’d collect natural objects (feathers, shells, seedpods, bones…) to add to the family collection. In 1992, when I began building the first beasts of my menagerie, it was using objects sent in a care package from my father, the same pieces that I'd collected as a child.
