Description

A contemporary taxidermy artwork depicting a mouse staged as a chainsaw-wielding figure, conceived in a deliberately provocative and darkly humorous style.

The mouse is mounted upright on a circular natural wood slice base, dressed in a fabric apron marked with stylised red detailing.

It holds a miniature chainsaw, finished in green with contrasting blade decoration, creating a visually striking focal point.

The composition is completed with a small skull placed at the mouse’s side, reinforcing memento mori themes and drawing on the long tradition of theatrical curiosities and modern gothic assemblage.

The piece balances shock value with craftsmanship, using scale, posture, and accessories to create a narrative-driven object intended for display within a cabinet of curiosities or alternative interior setting.

This work is decorative in nature and should be regarded as contemporary macabre taxidermy rather than a scientific specimen.

Care instructions
Display indoors only, away from direct sunlight, damp conditions, or excessive humidity. Dust gently with a soft brush and avoid handling the figure or accessories directly.
