Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by victorwilliams on Nov 1, 2011 13:24:58 GMT 1, Testing the water to see what people have out there, regarding Polly Morgan's work, could have cash or maybe swaps if the right item comes along.
Anyone got anything?

Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by victorwilliams on Nov 1, 2011 17:33:41 GMT 1, Can't see what piece she has available on the website and I don't live in London so what ever piece it is will be gone on opening night I imagen.
Thanks for the PMs so far but I am looking for the taxidermy side of her work rather than the printing side, thanks.

Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by mmmike on Nov 1, 2011 19:05:11 GMT 1, Can someone please explain the appeal of these things? To me it looks like an attempt to shock people with no real meaning or purpose. I find them really boring and uninspired.
I'm not a fan of using animals in general. Seems thoughtless and heartless.

Nothing 'shocking' in her work what so ever all I see is beauty, fantastic ideas placing animal in completely different environments to what people are used to seeing them in.
I think it depends what point of view you are looking at it from, just my opinion.

Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by fairplay1974 on Nov 2, 2011 16:43:18 GMT 1, Ok, I couldn't figure it. I do like a lot of Polly's work, think 'Still Birth' is inspired. IMO Once you get past the whole dead animal thing her work is beautiful. I think visiting her site and reading about her helps with that. I can understand where mmmike is coming from though, I think her originals particularly often have marmite appeal (for want of a better phrase!).

Ok I'll read up a bit on her but the animal rights vegan in me is unlikely to come around to liking these things.

Pretty sure she only uses already dead animals.and lots are given to her , its a form of recycling

Thanks for the link.
Good to read that they died of natural causes but nothing there in terms of the meaning or intent of the work. If anyone has any links to interesting interviews with her talking about he work I'd be interested to read them.

Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by afroken on Nov 2, 2011 22:51:58 GMT 1, I found a pristine dead fox outside by place lying on the pavement and contacted Polly. She checked for room in the freezer and came to collect it. Her studio is down the road from me. That fox would have just ended up as land fill so don't really see the problem?

Contemplating Polly Morgan....., by victorwilliams on Nov 4, 2011 16:06:57 GMT 1, So... The conclusion is has any one got any horrible, grotesque, appealingly shocking orginal works of art by Polly Morgan that they are looking to move on.
