Contextual

I looked at artists who dealt with the bizarre use of animals, taxidermy artists such as Damien Hirst and Sabrina Bewer. Patricia Paccini was another artists who creates sculptures of grotesque mutations of animal/human hybrids. Grotesque refers to some fantastic, strong, ugly, incogruous, unpleasant, disgustinga nd distorted. In art it is something that evokes a feeling of discomfort and relates to the bizarre, empathic pity.
