Mike Kelley American, 1954–2012
Eviscerated Corpse
1989
Mike Kelley's 'Eviscerated Corpse' (1989) is an installation sewn together from hundreds of found, filthy stuffed toys — dumped by their owners after childhood — re-arranged into a single large, hanging body. The work is a trademark Kelley meditation on abandonment, childhood damage, and American suburbia. Art Institute of Chicago.
