In simple but vivid detail, Velma Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community and forgiveness "speaks straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness and wisdom" (Ursula K. Le Guin). ; Velma Wallis is one in a family of thirteen children, all born in the vast fur-trapping country of Fort Yukon, Alaska, and raised with traditional Athabascan values. A writer and avid reader, she lives in Fairbanks. ; tear on back of dustjacket ; FINE/G. Book. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Very well maintained. Small signs of wear but no tears, scratches or major flaws. From a giant orb made from disembodied crows' wings to a suspended human ribcage with a flaming red bird resembling its heart, Polly Morgan's macabre sculptures take on a strange, fantastical beauty in the dim light of the Haunch of Venison's Mezzanine Gallery.The taxidermist's body of work marked a change in aesthetic and scale from the pieces that first caught the eyes of Banksy and Damien Hirst several years ago, and set her career in motion. The curious charm of the rats in champagne glasses and rabbits curled up on top hats, has been swapped with works that are bolder, more emphatically sculptural, larger and, this time, airborne. Central to the show was a burnt out cage, suspended in the air by a flock of finches.'Psychopomps' is a Greek word that refers to a conductor of souls to the other world, like Hermes or Charon.Accompanied the exhibition at Haunch of Venison London 21 July -25 September 2010. Condition - some water damage to top of spine, both boards and page edges. Staining to upper page edges. Binding tight; pages otherwise clean and crisp. Copyright © Haunch of Venison.…

Polly Morgan is a contemporary British artist known for her taxidermy sculptures. As a member of the UK Guild of Taxidermists, she only uses animals that have died naturally or accidentally in her work. "I didn't want to sentimentalize nature," Morgan said of her work. "I wanted to show it as it is; cannibalistic, predatory and unnerving." Born in Banbury, United Kingdom in 1980, she graduated from the University of London with an English literature degree, taking up taxidermy as a hobby. Her career accelerated when she was commissioned to create work for "Santa's Ghetto", a show held in London curated by the artist Banksy. In 2011, her book Polly Morgan: Psychopomps was released. The artist lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Polyurethane cast, ebony, acrylic, taxidermy snake, 2017, numbered from the edition of 10, 17 x 10 x 10 cm. (3.9 x 6.9 x 3.9 in.). …
