Gut Instinct VI by John Pusateri
Thought from the artist: My work reflects my interest in the culture of animal preservation, taxidermy, scientific classification, speciation, and extinction. I am motivated by the belief that museum specimens are more than just scientific curiosities and research objects. They are simultaneously remnants of real animals, symbols of a species, an individual with a story imbued in cultural notions and a marker of loss and hope for future survival.
Within my work, I aim to draw upon the complex history of animal speciation, conservation and extinction while subtlety examining the irony of living things collected, isolated and ultimately destroyed to be better known, catalogued and preserved
