As promised, here is the studio of painter
Jean Reece Wilkey. She is a true collector of objects, and every piece is significant to her and her process.
Both "Pig Boy" and "Bunny Mask" here have made it into some of Jean Wilkey's paintings. Her work explores the proliferation of animal imagery in our culture, yet our experience of actual animals is often extremely removed.
If you got to see our exhibition "Out of Place" at Unsettled Gallery, then you will recognize some of the objects from these still life setups. The photos below show one these paintings in progress!
To see some more of what Jean is up to, check out her
blog! Or look at her small works gallery
