Original artwork description:
A still life of a Victorian taxidermy trophy, hung on the wall of a local museum. The strong vertical of the blue door provide a graphic framing and a counterpoint to the organic form and beautiful patina of the dangling turtle. As with all taxidermy there is the odd sense of literal still life (or, perhaps more accurately, 'nature mort'), the pathos and absurdity attendant to this simulacrum of living.
Materials used:
oil on canvas
