“Looking at Animals”
February 13 – March 9
Artist Talk and Reception: February 17, 6 – 8:30 p.m.
Inhibitor, 2011 acrylic and india ink on bond, by Raychael Stine
Artist Statement: Our lives are intertwined with animals. We eat them, we make them our pets, we document them in natural and unnatural settings, we write mythic narratives about them and anthropomorphize them in stories and metaphors, we collect them like trophies, and we study them in the name of science. Looking at Animals examines this complex relationship between animal and man through the work of six artists – Buster Graybill, Allison Hunter, Jules Buck Jones, Trish Igo, Jill O’Brien, and Raychael Stine.
