The Natural History Museum



This year has been the year of shows for me. I've been working feverishly on many shows. My next project is to expand on the Stuft Acquaintances and the first place I went to was the Natural History Museum. It has 3 great rooms filled with life-size dioramas that feature taxidermy of animals from both North America and Africa.

These halls have this great whimsical aspect to them. For the show, I'm also going to make about 30 books that'll be companions to the show and pieces. The books will feature photos of my inspiration(s) alongside images of the show's pieces. Then I'll cover them in fabric that was also used in pieces for the show. I guess you can think of them as little mementos.

I hope to have this show open in either September or November. I think November might be better...
