wind-up baby crocodile

Taxidermist & sculptor Lisa Black combines taxidermy with working gears and other mechanical contraptions including, yes, a wind-up baby crocodile. You tell me what to think of this because, really, I've got no idea where to begin.

Deeply alarming work. Possibly beautiful but it's awfully alarming that she offers none of the usual disclaimers about how she comes by these animals. The crocdile is much easier to accept that the poor torn mechanical bunny, which made me feel like I'd had a nuclear suckerpunch. The fawn's mechanical knees were astoundingly lovely.... I suppose I (predicatbly) want assurance that they were done empathetically, but then there's that crazy rascally smile in her profile that suggests she might be hunting them down in bouts of pre-dawn insanity.

Does the fawn really need the trendy chair prop?
