Taxidermy
Museum fabrication. Animal replica. Dissection.
I have been practicing taxidermy for many years. From self-learning, to attending taxidermy school, and later working as an intern at a museum fabrication studio in New Jersey, I have gained tremendous skills in working with both hard and soft materials. Through this process, I learned how to replicate anatomy by closely observing the real structure of the body, sculpting muscles with clay, and positioning animals according to their natural morphology and skeletal system.
