Somnambulic
Our neighbor in the Great White North (do they really call Canada that?) is home to many cute furry animals both large and small. Canada is also home to some of the most expansive hunting practices in North America so artist Martin Beauregard has created an installation called Somnambulic that triggers the confusion between cuddly toys and hunted animals, between play-acting and hunting rights. He's confronting the world of childhood fantasy and the harsh brutality of hunting.
One of the pieces is called Wake Up Teddy - a giant stuffed toy bear made from real bear skins.
If you live in New York, please go check it out at Location One.

Yes, we do really call it the Great White North way up in these parts. :)
But I do not agree with our hunting laws, or hunting in any way. Unless it's hunting for the newest gadget out there.
