NYC artist uses dead animals in art
NEW YORK - In front of a shuttered Chinatown store, artist Nate Hill rummaged through a pile of trash, fishing for the tools of his craft in someone else’s garbage.
“Oh, look, a flounder!” he said, as he dug in one bin wearing blue surgical gloves and drew out a quivering white slip of fish. “Does anyone want some? I think there’s more.”
There were no immediate takers among the half dozen or so people who had followed Hill on a drizzly night for a tour of his favorite spots for digging through Chinatown garbage.
The goal: Find interesting dead animals to make into art.
