Having featured a few months ago Isabella Rozendaal’s Isabella Hunts, which is a broad and growing project worth looking at again, I am a big fan of her work. An older project of hers that I admire is On Loving Animals, an exploration of the sometimes touching and often bizarre ways that humans express their love for their animals. The artist states that the aim of the project is “to show how the animals are part of our lives, and how we project our own needs onto these beasts” (source). The human relationship with non-human animals is complex, and I appreciate Rozendaal’s lack of reservation showing many aspects of this complicated exchange.
