Vilify

Burned & Carved Wood

12" x 28"

2023

Vilify is a burned and carved wood portrait completed in 2023. This artwork responds to the demonization of ordinary creatures with the ability to harm us, as these creatures threaten our perceived superiority over the world around us. Many people view these powerful animals as monsters, as it is easier to see them as evil creatures who are out to get us instead of animals who are just like us - animals who just want to find food, protect their families, and get through their day in peace

This artwork is ready to hang and includes a cleat-style picture hanger for easy installation. No framing is necessary
