Echoes of Natura

In the kaleidoscope of whispers and formaldehyde scented rooms, taxidermy artist Echo Echo can be found conjuring herself companions from the dead. Weaving tales from sinew and silk in the heart of Phoenix, AZ since 2010, her professionally preserved anthropomorphic creatures emerge from a twilight realm where the regal specters of Queen Elizabeth’s court converse with the whimsical animals of Beatrix Potter.  Echo Echo delves into the macabre with a femme focused vision, crafting antiques with animal remains that are true Memento Mori —  Her work, a dollhouse theater of regal roadkill and royal decay, evokes the opulence of Marie Antoinette with a twist of the feral and discarded, where innocence and glamour waltz with Kafkaesque isolation. These fantastical taxidermy animals of bygone eras, showcase a mirror of trauma and gilded dreams. Each piece, a testament to the beauty found in the discarded and the broken, in the nostalgia of what once was, and what could be.
