Dana Sherwood, Horses for the Trees

Dana Sherwood focuses on the Anthropocene in her work—an area of interest that has seen her prepare banquets and bake cakes for local wildlife. She has documented these feasts in video, and many of her watercolours come from the resulting footage. She’s just opened a new show of installation, video and painting work at Denny Dimin Gallery in New York. “Sherwood’s work creatively examines the complex and intimate relationship between humans and other animals in an increasingly homogenized ecosystem,” says the gallery, “one which is threatened by climate change and development.”
