“Do you see the hidden image? These works subtly incorporate images from our collective psyche - icons of popular culture - and place them in the setting of Golden Age Natural History art. They explore the psychic distance we have travelled from the natural world, how all-pervasive imagery of mass media has become and the commerce-induced psychosis we all now inhabit.
“Our instinct to make art and stories about the species we share our planet with has been sold back to us so all-pervasively that they become how we interpret the world. Every baby deer is Bambi. Every lion-cub is Simba. It has become part of the way we think about nature. We can’t help but hallucinate in the imagery of pop-culture icons.”
