This art project is dead meat - even if critics love it.
Taiwan-born artist Lishan Chang is using road kill as the centerpiece of an art exhibit that will spotlight the harm modern civilization has wrought upon the natural world.
For the last six months, Chang, a multimedia artist from Woodside, has scoured highways and country roads looking for remains of creatures that never made it to the other side.
Chang uses taxidermy to preserve his grisly quarry, working in a downtown Jamaica studio that smells of flesh and salt from the macabre pursuit.
The project is about a year from completion, but Chang already envisions an eye-catching design: Costumed mannequins holding animal pelts in their hands - a representation, he said, of how they were killed by nameless, faceless humans.
