Specimens


Aug 27, 2022

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.

In episode 036 Elle chats with internationally-recognised visual artist Claire Morgan about her work. Claire speaks about her multi-faceted practice; drawing, the use of taxidermy and 3D sculpture using natural and organic materials. She also shares her approach to these large-scale works, and how she finds patterns and rhythms through the installation of these pieces. Claire speaks about being an artist, Imposters Syndrome, and how working close to nature can reflect thoughts on life and death.
