For me, Design is about questioning perception, asking questions of the audience. Kelly’s pieces do that. I have seen her work previously, and I admire her work immensely. The audience should be asking themselves why they don’t like the work, and why do they feel like they do when they see it. Are these the feelings that the designer wanted us to feel? Has she accomplished what she intended? From the reaction here, I reckon she has, like Andy says, I see more repulsive things in our society, which seem to be more accomodated by the general populus!

Do I hear a resounding no? I have, and it is exquisitely done. You may dislike Kelly's work but please do not talk about something you judge from a photo, go see it. I hear the V&A museum is featuring it in its summer 2009 exhibition... Well… before criticising something of being poorly executed, dare I ask: have you seen the work in the flesh?

It's also very beautiful and less repulsive than a lot of people. Thanks Andy It’s got all of you talking about it, mission accomplished I think.

The work lacks creative talent, is poorly executed and seems to be done purely for shock value or publicity. There is so much beauty in animals and insects, dead or alive and not all art needs to be 'joyful' but there are more clever and creative ways to display it. I agree with the majority.
