“The most interesting thing about writing is the way that it obliterates time.”
My guilt can be broken down into two different categories. Category one is guilt on a big, social level. Writing, by and large, is considered an intellectual pursuit and its non-consumption and seemingly non-active (in a physical sense – you’re just sitting there) goes against current, major cultural norms. Category two is guilt on a smaller, personal level. I know deep down that writing is selfish, stupid, egotistical, and helps no one. When I am writing I am entertaining myself and the surrounding world doesn’t matter.
Wherever there are roads, there will also be roadkill; it’s a certainty. Death, and in this case, taxidermy, are two forces at work in Canadian artist Kate Puxley’s work, which asks its viewers to think about our relationship with an increasingly unnatural world.
“Ironic Roadkill Taxidermy Explores Our Troubled Relationship With A Disappearing Natural World,” my latest for Fast Company’s Co.Exist site.
