Dana Sherwood
Dana Sherwood is a Copake, NY based artist whose
work explores contact between human and non-human
animals in order to understand culture and behavior in
a changing environment. In her work, nature, often in
the form of non-human animals, plays a complex role
as both subject and collaborator, asserting its presence
and subverting the artists' perceived control. Sherwood
relies upon her own style of magical-realism to portray
contact between human and non-human animals as
a tool to understand culture and behavior and more
importantly to recognize that we are not separate from
nature and the ecosystem.
