The comment before mine says this is interesting and we should go check out their commercial unrelated pet site. I saw the identical pasted comment on my own blog today, and the day before.
Moira, this is not just “interesting”. This work is weird, wonderful, different. When I arrived at Morrel’s site I was pleased to find a flawlessly designed web site with great navigation. Morrel’s work is a treat that made me smile. Thanks for another great post. -
I am delighted to meet with your blog. Thanks for sharing striking post with me.

These are beautiful, but it interests me that an artist can assemble a new art work using art created by others and then claim it as his own. From what i could tell he uses vintage fabrics created by others, applied to forms, like manneqins and the plaster animal forms used in taxidermy. He also adds pieces of fur that once belonged to living animals. Something about this is disquieting to me. Makes me reference Picasso, and Martha Graham, saying that one should not show them anything they didn’t want them to steal.
