Beautiful Beasts<br />

And then we fell in love with them...<br />
The animals painted in this exhibition are from our<br />
farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main<br />
subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact<br />
that she is my favourite). From my experience as<br />
a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early<br />
influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding<br />
the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective.<br />
Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost<br />
hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the<br />
viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human<br />
impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our<br />
thoughts…<br />
‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the<br />
idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ -<br />
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/<br />
Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every<br />
creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence<br />
untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some<br />
pure white images of children, along with animals, and their<br />
imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of<br />
children and their innate connection with nature.<br />
