My work
reflects the important role played by the animal and the museum
in the development of post-modern art. The animal has frequently
been used by artists whose work is aligned with ecology and conservation
as a metaphor for the destruction and pollution of our natural
surroundings, while the museum has been used to shape political
views of the world through the cultural constructs that societies
derive from the classification of objects and animals.
By creating numerous
exhibits under the banner name The
Natural History Project, I have blended traditional
museology with digital photography, the Internet, computer modelling
and virtual reality, to create a cutting-edge contemporary art
experience that brings the traditional artistic roles of the animal
and the museum fully up to date
