Mammal Tricks

Formally, in her large-format prints, the artist references Japanese screen painting. The series "Mammal Tricks" is full of elongated, proudly rising forms, which for the artist symbolize the patriarchal figure of homo erectus, the opposite of the bent, nurturing, and tender figure. The series tells the story of "mad mammals" and their mirages about Mother Nature, an endlessly fertile maternal space full of goods to continuously suck from.

The peculiar forms here are caricatural representations of vertical visions of growth, which can be interpreted through critical ecofeminist theories, post-growth, or the ethics of care.
