Artist's Book: Animal Nature

 

Animal Nature:

Monologues, dialogues and a letter by various animals and related quotations by people

 

I wrote a series of short monologues and dialogues to remind us, with reflective irony, how we are eclipsed by our physiology and ruled by our desires.

 

By deliberately lending human voices to animals, I'm tugging a bit at the veil of denial that education and rational thought encourages us to construct.
