In zoology the term “imprint” refers to the process in a young animal’s early development, when they pattern themselves onto their mother; identifying themselves as one of her kind.
If a human acts as the primary caregiver during this stage of early development, an animal can imprint onto a human, and an exceptionally strong bond can occur between the two.
This exhibition features two artists who depict a wide array of species in distinct and refreshing ways, each honoring the true complexity their subjects, and in turn challenging the boundary between our kingdom and theirs.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
Laura Fedynyszyn
“Situated on the fringes of the natural world, my work is based on keen observations and a deep respect for the animals whose habitats we share. Often inspired by early scientific documentation of flora and fauna, my artistic practice seeks to enliven these clinical views of the natural world with undercurrents of emotion and immediacy.”
Melissa Wakefield
“Choosing to place the animal by itself inspires a portrait-like composition. Unlike landscapes with wildlife included, the animals are separated from their environment, and are then forced to be see on their own.”
