A reception will take place on February 16, from 6:00-8:00PM.
Amy Stein's photographs explore our paradoxical relationship with the "wild" and how our conflicting impulsescontinue to evolve and alter the behavior of both humans and animals. We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature. Within her work she examines the primal issues of comfort and fear, dependence and determination, submission and dominance that play out in the physical and psychological ecotones between man and the natural world.
