The works in ‘The Wounded Animal’ stem from a twelve-thousand year old drawing of a wounded bear in a Cave in Southern France. The drawings attempt to collapse the immeasurable distance between the original artist and myself, attempting a form of vernacular dwelling, a bodily time travel. They explore our stunted dialogue with the non-human, collapsing separate notions of human and animal through the shared lexicon of body and sensation. They question what it is to exist within the confines of a body- any body, and ultimately, what it is to be part of the wider cycles of the natural world.
