I finally got to meet Brian from NOBs on Monday 20th December at St. Erth train station, he delivered, four pheasants and three woodcock as a result of the weather he had found it difficult to get hold of rabbits and also the wood pigeons but has said he will deliver these soon, hopefully in January. As long as the weather stays normal it should be fine.
It's interesting to suddenly have a few dead birds in your possession and to have to work as quick as you can before they turn. I had to go about my everyday life of working as a sales assistant also and felt a little like superman with a double identity. By day I was working on the tills and by night I was stood upon a table amongst my birds performing. Christmas eve I performed also and Christmas day I took the birds to the woods and placed them in the field beside the lake and documented it. I then left them and returned to find just bones and a few feathers left, a fox I assume. I wish I had had the means to stay overnight and within the next two months hope to make that happen, so that I may document the entire event. The idea was simply to take the still life further, more so than Sam Taylor Woods version and to also push the idea of 'live art' to the limit.
Here are some pictures:
