Y [Taxidermy] 'THE ORIGINAL AYNHOE ROCKING ZEBRA' BY JAMES PERKINS

Y 'THE ORIGINAL AYNHOE ROCKING ZEBRA'
BY JAMES PERKINS, 2013
Composed of a preserved Burchell's zebra, Equus quagga burchellii, later modelled as a rocking horse, mounted on a mahogany rocker base
175cm high overall, 265cm long overall

Catalogue Note: A rocking horse provokes a memory of childhood, a nursey or a playroom. But in this early work by James Perkins he questions why those memories should remain in the past, with a playful oversized 'adult' version of the traditional rocking horse.
