Beautifully detailed animals, criss-crossed with geometric patterns, drawn with ink and painted with watercolors.
Z.H. Field says that the art represents the link, experiences and bond between animals and humans. Field starts off explaining how, some humans, have an amazing bond with animals, but then goes into more details, I will now let Field's words explain this thought:
"However, animals are in some ways utterly alien to us. They don’t think exactly the way we do, and projecting human thoughts and feelings onto them risks fundamental misunderstanding and a lack of true connection. There’s something important and magical about trying to understand a being whose experience of the world is completely different from our own.
By drawing animals with distinctive personalities that seem to speak to us, but breaking their forms up into abstract patterns, my work explores the tension between the deep kinship we share with animals, and the sense of awe and wonder we feel from their difference."
Great and deep point of view, that really makes you think. Unfortunately just thinking is no longer enough, in my opinion, we really have to rethink the way we behave towards them and ourselves. Plenty of great art to enjoy below, plus wishes, from me, for a wonderful weekend.
