I don't consider myself a morose individual, but rather someone who can appreciate the lightness in darker scenarios, such as death -- for example, take Polly Morgan's work. Taxidermy isn't something most people care for and yes, the use of it has become widely trendy (just look at all the lounges, restaurants and interior design mags that are adorned with antlers). Don't get me wrong, death isn't funny or easy to deal with in any capacity, but when it comes to the work Polly does -- I think it's rather celebratory vs. sad. She doesn't put the animals in your typical obvious natural setting, but rather shows them off in a way you'd never expect. It's art, interpret it as you will right?
