Research residency at Nottingham Contemporary: Filling the frame

Games in frames.
Got games on the brain.
Creating things to play with.
Creating ways to play with things.
Ways to play with each other.

Taxidermy
How about we think of it as a loving reconstruction of something that is lost, or might be lost soon.
Most taxidermy is road kill.
I heard about a woman with a stuffed Curlew (a wading bird).
Curlews are endangered because we ruined their habitat.
Not because we shot them.

Taxidermy
Not the trophy kind, but the ‘in remembrance’ kind.

Day one at Nottingham Contemporary.
Residency.
It’s not residential… but
I’ll be leaving my stuff there over night.
Stuffed. Birds.
