paper boat boutique and gallery of milwaukee celebrates opening their doors for three yrs this month! to help celebrate their birthday catherine ryan will be showing new work along w/ upcoming milwaukee talent eduardo villanueva. i've posted some work catherine recently sent me that will be in the show, along w/ some older pieces that i knew you'd love. catherine's renditions of wild animals are so intense! that owl is amazing! here's what the press release says about her work for the show:
this series of drawings is an examination of "canned" hunting preserves; plots of private, fenced-in land that are stocked with a wide array of domestically-raised "wild game". a commodified and sanitized version of something that was once an instinctual means of survival, canned hunts are stripped of the inconvenience, danger and uncertainty of an actual hunt. like fast food, canned hunts are a perverse version of something real; devoid of substance, but packaged for easy consumption.
