I haven’t yet thoroughly explored this artist’s site (there is a lot to take in), but what I’ve seen and read so far is very intriguing. I’m putting it on my “visit when I have more time” list…
“R. Eugene Parnell is an artist working in sculpture, installation, and interactive media…Much of his work deals with natural and cultural history, anthropology, and the notion of the Exotic and his thinking is fueled by his extensive travels throughout the Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. His newest body of work—the psychological and social constructs of animals, from Natural History museums to children’s literature.”
Some of my favorite topics are mentioned in that snippet. Among other activities, the site enables you to build your own island. Mucho neato. (Thanks to Niemandsrose for the reference!)
