While digging through my piles of magazine articles I rip it out whenever I clean out my masses of magazines, I came back across images of Petah Coyne's sculptures. They're haunting and beautiful... and incorporate taxidermy peacocks, so of course I love them. The above image is the cover of the Yale University Press book on her work.

so glad you highlighted her Petah Coyne has a major piece at the Nasher that I have grown-it was not instant to love, I have some secret snaps of it that I should share at some point. her ideas are intriguing and tie in to much of how we see the world. pgt
