Take a Fancy Bird, Make it Fancier

Birds with colorful plumage and intricate feathers aren’t enough for artist Karley Feaver. In her series Becoming Otherwise, she explores the concept of adding to already ornate creatures.  As a note, all of the birds were already dead and taxidermied. From the artist:

“I am interested in the scientific, intellectual and aesthetic reasons behind the re-creation of the animal. I am exploring how each one could exist in a domestic setting by adapting to their surroundings. Through this, my investigations of the animals have developed by morphing animals and other various objects into newly formed creations”.
