Mortuary Science Student, Makeup Artist Finds Beauty in Death

Imagine a house with rooms full of squids, snakes and frogs floating in odd-shaped bottles. One room has a six-foot-tall rack of tarantulas, a tank full of beetles or an industrial-sized box of lizard corpses, bones or tortoise shells. Horror movie posters from the 1980s cover the walls. Masks of zombies, mummies, aliens and other monsters watch you with an eerie life-likeness. Behind the house, skeletons of boars, rabbits and goats lay decomposing in rows like an unearthed animal graveyard. To some, this may sound like the lab of a mad scientist, or a scene from the creepy intro sequence of the FX television show “American Horror Story: Murder House.” A nightmare. To Emma Campbell, however, it’s the dream art studio.

From The Editor

Knee-deep in the middle of the semester, I find myself clinging more than ever to routine. Publishing days are a time to reflect on a hectic week, reminding me what all the stress, late nights and meetings were for. I hope as readers you come to enjoy a similar routine, knowing that every Monday you can come to our site for fresh content created by dozens of talented and dedicated contributors. Be sure to read our piece on Harley Clark, as the UT community reflects on his passing. Think about our story on women in rock and why there still seems to be a lack of women in the music industry. Take a look inside the Pearl Street Co-op or learn a little more about football culture. As always, thank you for being an important part of our publication and helping make Mondays worth working toward. Let us know what you think, and join the conversation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter using #omagswag.
