My use of Rogue Taxidermy combines my passion for traditional taxidermy with the playful ideologies of Victorian Anthropomorphic Taxidermist, Walter Potter, who created magical tableaux’s of animals dressed as humans in human-like situations. It’s very much the Marmite of the taxidermy world, you either love it or hate it.
