‘As they circulate through our lives’, Taxidermy’s excess of significance originates in the relationship between an original and re-animated liveliness: at once lifelike yet dead, both a human made representation of a species and a presentation of a particular animal’s skin. In spite of the death, the skinning, dismemberment, and refashioning, the animal form holds. The eyes may be glass, but the animal stares back. An animal – even if taxidermied – is not an arbitrary object, materiality indistinguishable from a bowl or a painting. (Poliquin 127)
