More Info
Wildly Human features diverse artworks as a contemporary bestiary that reflects the ways in which animal imagery can express varied aspects of humanity. Dating from the Middle Ages, bestiaries are illustrated compendiums of both real and imaginary animals, usually imbued with moral values and mythological symbolism. 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.
