The theme of my project is looking at the beauty in death, specifically dead creatures and finding a way to display them that is more palatable and pleasing using taxidermy. The current taxidermy mounts I have – a hooded crow, a jackdaw and a rat – are all animals that have similar symbolic meanings, revolving around death, representing bad omens and having links to witchcraft or otherworldly meanings.
