Warwick Freeman - Dead Set II

Capped animal parts

Dead Set II

Warwick Freeman’s Dead Set II is an elegant circle of death, created from oxidised silver caps and various animal parts. In Freeman’s own words, Dead Set II “broadly includes everything (dead) that has crossed my path over a three year collecting period. It’s made from the parts of any animal I could find while on the road, the beach, the sea, farmyard or in the backyard”. Demonstrating a sophisticated use for road kill, it’s no accident that Freeman’s work is shaped like a target.
