Man, I know I say this all of the time, but if I had the extra money I would jump on one of these prints so quickly.
These images of deer sharpening their antlers on statues and wolves running towards domestication (the image isn’t really large enough to tell - there are 3 wolves running in a pack and each wolf from the left becomes more domesticated in appearance) remind me of a scene in the film 12 Monkeys where Bruce Willis goes back in time to New York City after a virus has killed most of the human population.
Grass and vines have infiltrated cracks in the pavement and are creeping up the sides of skyscrapers – eroding the rigid structures of the man made city back to its natural state. Animals are shown roaming the newly reclaimed city like it had always been a forest and the man made buildings were just a blip in it’s long existence.
It seems that Keyes’ work is asking the question “what effect is human industrialization having on nature, and how is nature responding to these changes?”
