Wildly Human Group Art Show 
Feb. 2 through April 2, 2012 
McCabe Library,
Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA.
Artist Reception: February 16th at 4 PM.

McCabe Library, Swarthmore College, presents Wildly Human, a selection of artworks that reflect the ways in which animal imagery expresses varied aspects of humanity. The exhibition will take place February 2-April 2, 2012. The exhibition includes works by approximately ten invited established and emerging artists from the mid-Atlantic region. Dating from the Middle Ages, bestiaries are illustrated compendiums of both real and mythological animals, usually with moralistic, symbolic, or mythical implications. "Wildly Human" moves beyond the moralistic purposes of the traditional bestiary by probing deeper into animals' unique ability to express a complex psychology that resonates with our human existence.

 For this show I will be bring three artworks, including "War Horse", "Totem I" and "Totem IV".

1/28/12 UPDATE:  I have a correction to those who got my newsletter and blog post earlier this week: "War Horse" will NOT be at the "Wildly Human" show,  just "Totem I" and "Totem IV". "War Horse" ended up being too large for the space they had allotted. Instead I will be submitting "War Horse" to my upcoming "Yellow Springs Art Show" at the end of April. See lynnetteshelley.com/exhibitions.html for info on all of my upcoming shows.
