Artist and taxidermist Wendy Christensen retouches an African Black Rhino on display for the Milwakee Public Museum. This display becomes increasingly more important by the day as currently there are thought to be less than 2,500 Black African Rhinos left in the wild. Interestingly enough this work is not actually a deceased rhinoceros but a highly convincing replica, highlighting the depth of the creativity and commitment it takes to build such a display.
Though taxidermy in the 21st century continues to be a highly controversial topic the hopeful end goal of modern taxidermists such as Wendy is conservation. The aim is to educate and inspire activism through displays such as this one so that future generations may see the beauty they have lost to extinction and learn from their ancestor's mistakes.
I had a wonderful experience photographing this story and have since learned a great deal on the subject and expanded my viewpoint on taxidermy.
It is perhaps writer Anne Roiphe who's quote best sums up the craft. "Grief comes in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life." Additionally National Geographic produced and linked an interview with myself on the subject of Taxidermy. The link is currently attached in my Bio. I implore you to give it a few minutes of your time if you are interested in diving deeper into the story.
