Artist feasts on roadkill remains

A Gloucestershire artist is charging £35,000 for his unusual artwork featuring the remains of a fox and hare killed on the road.

Adam Morrigan, 38, from Horsley, collects the carcases and, depending on what has been found, eats the meat before using the remains for his work.

Despite the seemingly limited appeal, his work is commanding high prices and creating a stir in the art world.

He said he is more interested in provoking a reaction than making money.

"Most people look at that piece [the fox and hare] in horror. But it's deliberately confrontational."
