Canary with Flowers

$300.00

From the Field Notes series, this shadow box showcases a domestic canary (Serinus canaria domestica) on a variety of hand-pressed flowers. The canary specimen has been prepared in a similar manner to traditional taxidermy and to museum standards, but for an artistic shadow box display. The flowers include wild pansy (Viola tricolor), sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima), cheeseweed mallow (Malva parviflora), & blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida). This display shows the more delicate colors that are found in nature, from soft pastel colors to delicate earth tones.

Every arrangement and display from the Field Notes series was sourced, preserved, and arranged with thought and care to capture the essence of exploration and curiosity about the modern world. If you want to add a bit of natural history to your home, a piece from this series is perfect for you. This piece will function as a wall hanging or a table-top/shelf display.

This piece was created by Paloma Strong of Strong Taxidermy.
