Harriet Horton's Taxidermy

Harriet Horton is a 25 year old taxidermy artist living in East London. Taking a taxidermy course two years ago she took the approach of removing the macabre association with the art form and seeing death as a chance of rebirth.
Using gold, crystal and diamonds with unnatural colouring, she changes the persona altogether or simply enhances the animals natural beauty.Her concept is to give her audience a fresh outlook on the art of the rearrangement of skin.
A number of Harriet's pieces are currently on display at the Brick Lane Gallery in East London so get yourself down there and check her work in person.
