About:

A caravan of migrating animals comes out of a clay-like base. Each animal that I have chosen for this project has a strong bond  to us humans. They are all carrying something that is highly valued to them for survival.

 

The sculpture Exodus was commissioned by Uppsala Art Museum for the show The Non-Human Animal – Negotiating Bio-relations in 2019. Courtesy of Uppsala Art Museum.
