Julia Marchand "Stuffed Monkeys & Freeze Dried Fauna"
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
During her first return visit to the American Museum of Natural History in New York as an adult Marchand found that with the perspective of high definition and cable television, the AMNH dioramas no longer seemed magical and exotic. Instead many felt like historical relics, even sad stuffed animals, left behind by technology and access. For this exhibition, Marchand has re-created a selection of her personal favorites, along with other educational wildlife imagery, infusing them with bold colors, lush patterns, exaggerated postures and imaginary personalities. In this way Marchand breathes new life, and pays homage to these long gone creatures frozen forever in time.
