Courtney Timmermans is best known for her Urban Herd Art series which revolves around the art form of taxidermy, but on a whole other level. Instead of the traditional stuffed animal head, she decorates the surface of animal heads with thousands of air rifle BB’s. Whether it be a giraffe, moose, lion, or elephant, she varies in colors and size of the BB’s to accentuate each figure.
When I first saw Timmerman’s pieces at the Jean Albano gallery, I misinterpreted the BB’s as beads. After researching Timmermans and discovering her true compositions, I found myself liking her work much more. The connection of a deceased animal mounted on a wall decorated with a medium of bullets, not usually seen in art, is very unique and original to me.
