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.
