One couldn’t really say Reid Peppard is obsessed with dead things, exactly. More with finding beauty in and making use of discard. Thus, she builds purses and hair combs out of found animal carcasses. Recently featured on CNN, Reid and her work were called “garbage…stupid…crazy…disgusting” by people happy to wear leather and eat meat and eggs procured cheaply even though the lives of the producing animals are painful, cramped, and drugged from beginning to end; while Reid’s raw products lived scampering or high-flying through the streets, sewers, and skies of London right up until their demise...

We used to live in a world of butterflies, bonfires, and boating. Now we live in a world of dead butterflies, bonfires of dead bodies, and boats filled with pirates. We are all on our way out in a body bag marked “fucked,” in an ambulance of dread driven by a Muslim extremist called Hussein. Oh, and Hussein is from Yemen now, not Afghanistan, and definitely not Iraq. Where is that country anyway? Who the fuck knows or cares anymore? Get with the times, Mr 2006!
