The Art of Excess
This series merges taxidermy and sculpted food to explore gluttony, domestic ritual, and the grotesque. Inspired by Victorian dining customs and surreal spectacle, the works use resin, clay, and preserved animals to create unsettling yet humorous table displays. Exhibited in Edinburgh and at the Royal Scottish Academy, the series received critical acclaim and recognition for its craftsmanship and provocative narrative.
Fake Food Workshop- Kerry Samantha Boyes

A bun concealing dentures, taxidermy and sweet treats presented beneath a glass dome. This surreal piece reflects the series’ focus on excess, decay, and the grotesque in domestic settings.
Tiered stands layered with replica sandwiches, sweets, and taxidermy birds. This sculptural installation examines gluttony and Victorian rituals of display, blending humour with the macabre.
