GOMEZ DE MOLINA-PANDORA


Gomez De Molina-Pandora is a very extreme modern taxidermist. Even though conventional taxidermy runs in the family his father was very incouraging and as result he creates these (what i find as) very aggressive, thought provoking preserves. 

Swans are protected by Her Majesty the Queen and are seen as very elegant creatures, adding horns and hoofed feet (not to mention the two heads!) is very striking. 

Some people would disagree that this isn't art and that it is interfering with nature and making animals into other mysterious creatures is not in the best interests of the animals. 

i personally find that his work is very interesting yet striking and makes me think of the options i have to consider. 

I could do three or five animals as a collection - each creature made up of two different animals. or maybe i could do one creature made up of a few different animals - just like De Molina-Pandora?
