Dead Beautiful

Polly Morgan is a TRUE ARTIST!! I was mesmerised by that Beautiful video of her, I am so Happy Current TV showed her work, it allowed me to discover her work!! Amazing!!

Just watched this piece on cable TV and was riveted. While not a fan of taxidermy, never had much interest in it, Polly's quiet elegance elevated this profession to a whole new level. Her feelings toward her subjects, gentle & caring, aptly portrayed in her results - a true piece of art - innocent creatures held in remembrance. Nothing ugly about that!

The taxidery I have seen always seems pointless to me and ugly but she gives a life to this art that I haven't seen in a while.

What a striking looking woman - she seems like something out of an A.S. Byatt novel.

I think what she's doing is a beautiful use of dead animals. Its not disrespectful really, and if I were the animal I would be proud to be such a peice of art. Well done to her, she should carry on with what she loves.

although i felt disturbed at the thought of a dog in a freezer, i also feel that she is working from a place of respect, and although i have buried most of my animals in the past (apart from george, but i can't tell you what happened to him) i do also agree that animals do not have to be given the same burial treatment as humans.
As like she said, they eat their dead.

I like this film, it is unusually brilliant. And covers something that TV has missed out on...

i had a friend just wake me up out of bed to see this pod haha it was worth the loss of sleep. It's refreshing to see the bodies of these animals become art rather left squashed in the bike lane. beautiful!

Polly's whole approach is uniquely eye opening. Few people have this kind of demeanor when talking about their job. The amount of passion this woman has, despite the occupation she is in, is quite inspiring!

it was sounded really weird when i told my friend

"awe taxidermy is so cute" i had to re-word it...

i love this pod

I also want to say, that I think I was one of those "pips (or peeps) of bird lovers" who signed a petition to ask her to stop doing her work years ago. It showed my ignorance concerning the issue, and I am glad I now see what she does and I really love her work. The petition made it sound like she was going out and killing animals for art, and Polly is not. So thank you Polly for your unique work and I am sorry about the petition thing.

very strange artist, good argument

the video is very very good
nice shootings, music, editing, everything

Polly says she loves animals and that making art out of their dead bodies is not disrespectful, because other animals would only eat them anyway... But isn't it unnatural to stuff their corpses and freeze them for eternity in a glass case to be gazed at as art-objects? I dunno...
