Even sea monsters won't survive all the plastic trash dangers out in the ocean... plastic, the greatest monster slayer there is!

Be Thankful

Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this taxidermy sculpture has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made the piece ten years ago. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this sculpture was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture the first time it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled Fruitful and Multiplying – The Overpopulation Exhibit. So much for progress.

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto MATERIALS: Domestic duck, turkey, and rooster skins

“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is a luxury.” ~

Merriment by McDarkart Medium: Acrylic and Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 16" x19" Approx Framing: Ready to Hang Year of Creation: 2024

Merriment (2024) by McDarkart, captures the spooky cheer of Halloween-themed helium balloons. In this annual birthday tradition, McQuany transforms monochrome balloons into a vivid celebration against a deep blue backdrop.

The bat balloon steals the show with its vibrant purple wings in this pop surrealist piece. McQuany's art brings joy and a touch of the bizarre, advocating for more painted balloons and less environmental waste with real balloons. This Happy Birthday takes on a hauntingly delightful twist in this mesmerizing still life. Happy Birthday to meeeeee

“Captain’s log, stardate 12.17.2023. Space… the final frontier… These are the voyages of rogue taxidermy. My 25-year-old mission: to explore strange new works. To seek out new life via new amalgamations. To boldly go where no man has gone before”

TITLE: You Have a Wonderful Future Behind You MATERIALS: Tanned and dehaired squirrel hide covered with schlagmetal (body), recycled platinum mink remnants (tail), mirrored stainless steel marbles (eyes), nickel-plated bank pins (rivets), antique jewelry box feet, vintage Swarovski cut crystal acorn, deco-style black lacquer wood plinth, artificial turf

One of my taxidermy sculptures that recently landed at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa. The theme for this particular exhibition was “Area 51”. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with concepts that fit into themed shows and one pushed taxidermy to the outer limits. This piece was inspired by a theory that suggests extraterrestrials are time traveling humans from Earth’s future. No one can predict the future, but there are inevitabilities in the foreseeable. More flora and fauna will go extinct. Technology will increasingly replace organic processes. Our world will slowly fill up with artificially created plants. Artificially created animals. Artificial environments. Artificial intelligence. Artificial everything. After we are gone, there will only be monuments to what once was. This piece is intended not only to evoke the feeling of a monument, but also to mimic a trophy; a satirical award for our stellar stewardship of the planet.

Part 2 of my Plymouth trip!

.

During my MA, my first project explored seagrass—a vital yet often overlooked marine ecosystem. 🌊 Back in 2023, there was significant attention on seagrass decline, but community action and awareness were still limited.

.

🌱 Seagrass meadows combat climate change by absorbing and storing vast amounts of carbon—up to 35 times more efficiently than rainforests of the same size. Despite covering only 0.2% of the ocean floor, seagrasses store 10% of the ocean’s carbon. (Source: Ocean Conservation Trust)

One project that influenced my research was Rosie Sherwood’s “The Seagrass Walk” (slide 3), exhibited in Plymouth. I couldn’t visit at the time, so experiencing it now has brought my own project full circle. It was also fascinating to see the seagrass labs at Plymouth aquarium to, the delicate process of growing such a plant for conservation efforts highlighted the need to conserve these biodiverse areas in situ, such as corals, chalk streams and marsh land. Before they disappear altogether.

.

The key research point for my project was inspired by a Cornish research study on the impact of chain moorings on seagrass, specifically how chain width affects seagrass scars. This visual impact led me to explore mark making as a medium.

I began by using secondhand chains to mimic the physical damage to seagrass beds. From there, I incorporated natural materials collected along the coastal path—twigs, seaweed, dried flowers, and grasses—to create custom tools for mark making, connecting the local environment back to the process.

To expand the idea, I developed a workshop prototype, inviting participants to make their own tools and experiment with ink. 🖌️ The hands-on experience fostered creativity and a tangible connection to the issue.

This project not only deepened my understanding of seagrass conservation but also ignited a passion for participatory, community-driven work. I look forward to developing more projects like this in the future!
