While in New Orleans two years ago I came across this unusual piece of art and didn't buy it. I am trying to find one now and hope someone out there has some information. It was called a Curious Specimen. The artist had taken the skeletal bones of dead mice and reconstructed them and added in butterfly wings and mounted the creation in a glass enclosure. He said they were created to be "fairy skeletons". They were the strangest, most fascinating pieces I'd ever seen. I have searched and searched and have come up with nothing.
I know the gallery was on Decatur Street in the French Quarter. I can't completely make out the artist name on the card - looks like Peter Ninsen. I tried the email address but heard nothing back. Don't know if the gallery was distroyed in the hurricane. Thank you for any help.
