Julia deVille is a New Zealand-born artist, jeweller and taxidermist, who only uses subjects in her taxidermy that have died of natural causes. She lives and works in Australia. ==Career== DeVille only uses subjects in her taxidermy that have died of natural causes. She is an advocate for animal rights, and began including taxidermy in her art work in 2002, combining it with her jewellery making practice to produce small sculptures and installations. DeVille’s interest in memento mori traditions of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries and Victorian mourning jewellery inform her wearable pieces. Her works are featured in galleries across Australia, including the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. ===Solo=== 2018: Wholeness and the Implicit Order, New Linden Gallery, Melbourne 2015: Lullaby, Jan Murphy Gallery, Brisbane 2014: Phantasmagoria, Sophie Gannon Gallery, Melbourne 2013: Degustation, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne 2013: For days unnumbered, Jan Murphy Gallery, Brisbane 2012: Sarcophagus, Sophie Gannon Gallery, Melbourne 2011: Nevermore, JamFactory, Adelaide 2010: Night’s Plutonian Shore, Sophie Gannon Gallery, Melbourne 2010: Julia deVille, Aesop stores, London 2009: Cineraria, Sophie Gannon Gallery, Melbourne 2008: Ossuarium, Craft Victoria, Melbourne 2008: Prey, Eastern Market, Melbourne 2008: Memento Mori, Dowse Art Museum, Lower Hutt, New Zealand 2008: Élan Vital, e.g.etal Galleries, Melbourne 2006: Vivere Disce, Cogita Mori, Fat 3000, GPO, Melbourne 2006: Here I Lie And Wait For Thee, e.g.etal galleries, Victoria 2005: Disce Mori, Tsubi flagship store, New York 2005: Puluis et Umbra Sumus, e.g.etal galleries & Workshop 3000 window, Melbourne
