Description

Award-winning artist and naturalist James Prosek explores the boundaries between art and nature in this cross-disciplinary catalogue. Works by Prosek and other artists are juxtaposed with natural objects to challenge our perceptions of what constitutes an 'artifact'. Over 150 full-color plates showcase a diverse range of objects, from bird's nests and dinosaur heads to Asian handscrolls and modern masterpieces. Prosek draws on the collections of the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History to create a unique and thought-provoking exhibition. The book features an incisive essay by Edith Devaney and texts by Prosek that explore the interconnectedness of our world.
