Last week, Caroline Issa nominated Mimi Xu as her #WomanCrushWednesday. This week, Mimi Xu nominates Polly Morgan…

WHO // Polly Morgan

CAREER // Contemporary artist, known for her signature taxidermy sculptures 


"Thanks for making me a #womanofpurpose @catherinequin" @pollymorganartist

WHY // I nominate Polly Morgan as my #WomanCrushWednesday because of her grace, humour and fearlessness when it comes to dead animals. Polly is my friend and a talented artist, who made her mark by turning the old-fashioned art of taxidermy into witty, contemporary sculptures. 


"A toy for my boy" @pollymorganartist

As a mother of two young children, Polly is equally admirable for briefly pressing pause on her career in order to fulfil the desire for parenthood. With persistence and determination, she organises her work around maternal and domestic chores with panache!


"Small corner of work at @ngoro-ngoro Lehderstraße 34 Berlin until Sunday" @pollymorganartist
