Niamh Mc Cann
January 9, 2009
I was wandering around Zoo Art Fair last year for a quick hour wanting to be inspired ahead of a meeting and found this cool artwork by Irish artist Niamh Mc Cann. The stuffed magpie in the process of stealing the neon rainbow has been playing on my mind for months, the experience of seeing this artwork literally just keeps waving over me, it stopped me in my tracks. Taxidermy isnt a love of mine, but I am partial to a bit of neon in art and I love the thought of a magpie taking the rainbow from the sky to decorate its tree, If I was a magpie, I’d do the same.
