2 pigs!
These are two (2) stuffed, well preserved pigs (or I must have been kidded by my own eyes!!) on display at the Max Lang gallery in Chelsea. I was doing my usual Wednesday evening elderly companion volunteer work for a 92-year old man, when we happened to pass by the front of this gallery. We were on our way to a walk for a few blocks, as the weather was great yesterday, even at past 8pm. I was caught surprised on seeing these 2 pigs, and was amazed to realize they're real pigs that have been preserved by the artist. I'm actually having some doubts about the authenticity of these pigs being real, but I remember from my experiences years ago when I used to have a piggery business back in the Philippines, I remember how pigs' skin looked like (which skin can't be made artificially, or it would have cost that much to make!). Or, the artist must have done a real, great job of coming up with 2 pigs that look so real (& looking better than those found in usual wax museum shows). And these 2 pigs had parts of their skin imprinted on with tattoo, the details of which didn't create much strong impression to me, as they're difficult to see from outside (but remain fascinating, nevertheless).
