Series

   

What do you see?
One stuffed animal in each photograph. Nature is included in the surroundings of each stuffed animal.

How is the work organized?
The bottom two are taken from above. The top one is taken from below the bird looking up. In each one shadows from the grass or leaves are created by the sun. The bottom two stuffed animals are located below the horizon line and the top one above the horizon line.

What is the artist trying to communicate?
The relation for the photographs is that all the stuffed animals are representing real ones in their own common surroundings. The bird is in a tree with its nest, the bunny popping out of the hole and the sheep in the grass.

What do yo think of the work?
I think the theme really worked and made the photographs have a connection. I really enjoy the series because it meets my interest of cute stuffed animals. The one thing that I would change would be in the photograph of the sheep, remove the blue object in the right upper corner that I was not aware of.
