They Think They Are Fallen Angels by Christine Kowal Post

Admission Free
Start Time 10:30
End Time 17:00

They Think They Are Fallen Angels” by Christine Kowal Post is an exhibition about our place in nature and how we see our relationship with the rest of the world.

Kowal Post’s work considers the relationships we build with the natural world, other creatures, and each other. We are comfortable with embracing our shared physiology with animals, and have never considered ourselves physically superior to other members of the animal kingdom.

Yet we cannot help looking for traits which make us not just unique within nature, but exceptional. So we imagine ourselves as intellectually exceptional, disconnected from other beings and with the right to dominion over nature.

Kowal Post’s carved wooden figures explore where and how we fall short in this human aspiration to be like ‘fallen angels’ akin to deities in the great chain of being.
