Wolf Girls & Foxy Ladies

Kiki Smith, Wolf Girl

Sebastiano recently gave me for my birthday the beautiful catalog

of the 2005 Mart exhibition Il Bello e le bestie (Beauty and the beasts).

The volume displays a varied collection of art exploring the contamination 

of human and animal forms in imagery ranging from early mythical monsters 

to contemporary social satire. A fascinating selection, including the stunning 

Daniel Lee photograph below, which has inspired me to restore to life 

Animalarium's long-dormant homage to woman-animal hybrids 

with this proud pack of wintery creatures.
