Animal Epitaph

Animal Epitaph is the only memorial these animals might ever receive. We will not hide their nature nor deny their flesh. Consider the skin not as material but as the honored remains of a living being. Cutting techniques that utilize the muscle memory and indelible three-dimensionality of the flesh, allowing for a superior, naturally formed fit. Each day the reality of our consumption falls deeper into obfuscation, I hope this collection will help us consider the decisions, lives, and labor that our need for animal products requires.

As predators

humanity plays Tartuffe in this mammalian drama

Our fellow creatures are exalted and executed by our individual tastes

We take a life

and package it

into the most palatable form

nature hidden and skin obscured

we create soulless material proxies

But

the obscenity

of nature

lurks
