Based on observations and sketches from the Natural History Museum (NHM) in New York.
Interrogation of the strange scenes depicted in the dioramas of animals and their supposed interactions in their natural habitats
This work is a reflection of these spaces and attempts to highlight the boundary between these fantastical spaces and those looking in.

Produced at Merrimac Print studio, Boston, 2013.
