Mus Musculus (2019)
Due to their resemblance to humans, rodents have been one of the most commonly used lab animals for biological research and have contributed tremendously to the development of disease prevention and medical treatment. They bore the injections and surgeries that would otherwise be unethical on human subjects, but left us with the flowers and fruits of eradicated diseases and extended longevity. I wish to address their dedication to human wellfare through this taxidermy piece, although the material I used here was actually a corpse of an squirrel instead of the commonly used lab animals mouse and rats.
Reborn? (2020)
A wire scupture symbolizing the rebirth of a phoenix. Australia is often nicknamed "the Phoenix Continent" due to Australian plants' and animals' amazing adaptations to fire, but when the disastrous 2019-20 fire sweeps across the entire continent in an overwhelming way, can the phoenix, unfleshed and unfeathered, come back alive in its charcoal bones?
