Research Friday: Louise Weaver

australian artist louise weaver uses crocheted wool
to cover taxidermy forms. i like these comfy-looking
birds in particular.

pom-pom fro!



here is a link to art & australia magazine's interview with louise.

in it, louise spoke of camouflage and transformation, but i notice she failed to mention the tension inherent in the juxtaposition of what appears to be a parrot with a sharp-hooked beak surrounded by miles of tempting yarn.

can you see it in the eye of that last bird?

"must...rip...this...to shreds"
