Dana Sherwood: Animal Appetites & Other Encounters in Wildness

This beautifully designed volume explores Sherwood's multimedia adventures in cross-species communication

The first monograph on Dana Sherwood (born 1977), this book showcases the New York artist's pioneering experiments with cross-species communication. Her films, sculpture installations and paintings engage discussions around the environment, global food chains, the rapid growth of social media, feminism, animal studies and spirituality. Featuring a tipped-on cover image, metallic embossing and various page sizes and paper stocks, this book expands upon these themes, with essays and documentation of paintings, film stills and recipe and sketchbook facsimiles. Generously illustrated sections of plates are followed by a chronology of the artist's career to date and a checklist of works.
