For the past 20 years, Angela Singer’s art has explored the human-animal relationship. Her art invites a new way of seeing and thinking about the animal.
She is concerned with the ethical and epistemological consequences of humans using nonhuman life, and the role that humans play in the exploitation and destruction of animals and our environment.
She sees the boundaries separating other species from humans as permeable. Combining mixed-media with “recycled” vintage discarded taxidermy she aims to turn taxidermic meaning. She incorporates into the look of her work some of the history of the death of the animal.
Angela is not a taxidermist and has never had an animal taxidermied for her art, nor had a living creature killed or harmed for her art. She is an animal rights activist and will not use living creatures in her art.
