Daylene Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 LONDON - A rabbit becomes a pot plant and a beheaded owl is turned into a desk tidy: by the alchemy of art, British university student Ebony Andrews is turning dead animals ? including pieces of roadkill ? into provoking artworks.ADVERTISEMENT The 22-year-old fine art student at Newcastle's Northumbria University said Thursday her exhibition of dead animals, which went on display this week, was a commentary on how "the public use animals as commodities." Another piece involves a dead squirrel whose insides have been replaced by the remote control for a DVD player. Andrews said she was a little nervous about the public response to her work, but since the exhibition opened Monday the response has been positive. Source Just plain freaky if you ask me. I wouldn't want this stuff anywhere near my hous:blink:ink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
