...section of the film, Hatry cuts out pig eyes; in another, the artist rolls cleaned skins and stacks them into a box. Time-lapsed and silent, Hatry’s movements are industrial and determined, as if the hands on the screen stripping meat belonged to a taxidermist rather than to an artist. Hatry’s work may take its roots in dead flesh, but in her display, the skin is endowed with a kind of life. Each figure is accompanied by a biographical narrative, written by a contemporary female author and inspired by the portrait. Text and image...
...something like 18,000 hits. Anyone tracking new lows in misogyny this year, who hated the treatment of Hillary and Michelle, should note that Cindy gets her share too, from sneers about Republican Barbie to the vicious dismissal of her as a product of a taxidermist...
...What obdurate force the creature possessed. He actually seemed to be dragging the boat. Moby-Dick! I hauled and reeled, under the sardonic eye of the cormorants - hauled and reeled...and mentally I had this 55-inch (at least) phenomenon iced down and on the way to the taxidermist down the road... when, after a moment or two of struggle, it began to dawn on me that my titan underwater was oddly immobile, conducting his side of the war from a fixed location.

Inspired by the burst stuffing of a deer on display in the Peabody Museum and some prints Rauschenberg did on deconstructed animal feed...
...that was back in the '80s, when the decoys had no moving parts. Brian Wolslegel, the Mosinee, Wis., taxidermist, with a former partner began experimenting with moving parts several years ago. He sells 200 to 300 robots a year at about $800 a pop. In the past six years, conservation officers from 45 states and Canada have bought Wolslegel's robotic elk, turkey, deer and bear. Wolslegel glues real animal hides to polyurethane molds, cuts off the heads and installs batteries and robotics, then slides the heads back on. (The very process, oddly enough, that's used to make presidential...
