5% formaldehyde solution




Damien Hursts well known work 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in The Mind of Someone Living' is like a large scale version of what I want to do. Where Hurst used Formaldehyde solution for the preservation of his shark however due to the dangers to health it can cause I will not be experimenting with it. (pictured above also is the guppy version of Hursts work created by him for the Reflex Art Gallery Miniature Museum)
Instead I shall experiment with various ways of displaying fruits, vegetables, flowers and leaves, and decide which looks most like an alien museum display.
