January 11-February 1, 2008
Artist Holly Conlin explores the sacredness of animals and the spiritual and emotional connection humans have with them. Although this bond is ancient it still exists for people in contemporary Western society, even if they are unaware of it, or it is relegated to the realm of dreams and myth. We are connected to animals and nature, and they are, certainly, tied to us.
