Psychopomps

.
AnOther recently featured a cool video on the taxidermy-based artwork of Polly Morgan – click here to watch. Her show Psychopomps is currently on view at Haunch of Venison London and you can see more of her work at her website.

For some reason, not just this, I am dying to go to London lately. Sometimes I think Seattle can draw as much, if not more, inspiration from there as from New York (I am ignoring LA for this exercise). Maybe it's the understatedness and the climate?
