About this work

Description

"Some Queer Animals is a photobook (Negative Press London, 2023) and wider art project responding at a local level to the global loss of seventy per cent of wildlife in the last fifty years. The book shows postmortem fossil-like life size cyanotype portraits of British wildlife recorded during lockdown walks in and around the village of Linton in Cambridgeshire. The process of documentation proposes a closer, mutually caring relationship with nature and wildlife, to nurture not destroy, to look after all life on our doorstep and planet. In the wider project prints are arranged in groups, presented as large landscape photographs to emphasise how all wildlife is connected and belongs to the same, increasingly decimated, ecosystem." -- From artist's website.
