ART CATALOG “Ursus Americanus, the North American black bear, has become my working journeyman. He will remind you of a human being when I have him stand erect on his hind legs. Unlike the primate, however, the bear is not on our same evolutionary branch. This disconnect is of great use to me because our innate recognition of a standing figure creates expectations that cannot be brought to fruition by a wild creature.” ”
