Zoo Stories

A new show opening tonight at the Sandra Phillips Gallery will appeal directly to your animal instincts: The message of Nature. Interrupted — a three-way exhibition of works by Anna Kaye, Susan Jean Hart and Pauline Foss that explores the effects of man's ugly footprint on the natural world — clearly takes the animals' side. Kaye's "Inside Out" series features stunning three-dimensional trompe l'oeil paintings of wild animals literally boxed in by their environment, while Foss's mixed-media works comment on the inhumane treatment of animals in mass food production. And on a more conceptual front, Hart's sculpture combines man-made and natural materials in abstract forms.
