Story Time<\/i>, 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Animal philosophies are rife with contradictions brought about by our\u00a0<\/em>childhood idolatry of animals and our societal use and slaughter of\u00a0<\/em>them. \u00a0Commixing these extremes, Trish Igo and Jill O’Brien create\u00a0<\/em>a dreamlike expos\u00e9 of our haunted faunal relationships. Igo and\u00a0<\/em>O’Brien work collaboratively in mixed media to compose vignettes with\u00a0<\/em>coveted objects and creatures\u00a0<\/em>to construct situations that provoke\u00a0<\/em>reflection on the subjective and selective ways that\u00a0people view\u00a0<\/em>animals.<\/em><\/p>\n
