Birds and Beasts

'Birds and Beasts' seeks to capture, celebrate, share and explore eternal connection between women and 'beasts'. Why are there so many tales and images which unite women with 'beasts'? Why do we need these stories? What is it that draws women to the teeth, claws and amber eyes of the beast? Why do we find peace there, so close to destruction?

Oakland-based artist Jon Carling’s work has been described as imperfectly precise, and otherworldly. “I want people to have an emotional response to my work that reminds them of being a child, when certain details are left out of an image, you use a very special part of your brain to fill in the spaces, and I think that is the key to engaging the viewer, let them write the story for themselves.”
