This collection joins biology, abstract art, and social context to explore what “animal” means to us. Atmospheric paintings represent feelings that surround animals, while sculptural pieces symbolize the animals themselves.
The process focused on hand-forming and fingerpainting, drawing inspiration from abstract expressionism, as well as the work of Louise Bourgeois and Louise Nevelson. Bourgeois’ drawings often used looping, scribbling forms in ways reminiscent of something animalistic. Nevelson unified objects, painting them all one color to abstract their original nature.
