About the Item

"""That very night in Max's room a forest grew and grew— and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around"" ‍What is “wild,” really? It’s untouched. Far from home. Far from humans. Animals beholden to no man. But when you visit these “remote” locations, you get your Santa-outing moment. Those crystal-clear springs with manatees from documentaries and magazines? Lined with homes and pontoons. The leopard resting in a tree? Surrounded by safari vans. Herds of bison crossing the Lamar Valley? Peaceful... until you look left and right to see a road jammed with cars. Those endless jungles where gorillas roam? They do, in fact, end. And abruptly. Reverse the roles in Sendak’s story. After all, who are the real beasts in this tale? In Max's forest homes were built and built— and built until his trees and vines were cleared and the jungle became farmland.‍ This image carries more weight than any I’ve taken deep in the forest. Because just over his shoulder— humans. Villages. Plowed fields. Breathing down his neck. His childlike posture. His gaze. There’s no aggression in his eyes. No fear. Just fact. This is what’s becoming of Max’s room. He’s accepted it. But that doesn’t mean we have to."

You Can Have Whatever You Can Dream Of
By Guadalupe Laiz
Located in New York, NY
Ed. 2/12, signed on the recto, includes black frame. Guadalupe Laiz is an international artist, photographer and explorer born and raised in Argentina. Guadalupe’s main focus for the past ten years has been an extensive body of work capturing the beauty and uniqueness of the indigenous horses of Iceland, a country that has touched her deeply and continues to visit. Her work “Horses of Iceland” has been shown in exhibitions all over the world. This photograph is from her newest series "Among the Living." For this body of work, Laiz traveled across the African continent for six years, visiting Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania, Batswana, Rwanda, and Uganda. Forgoing comfort often for months at a time, she returned with intimate portraits of the charismatic and fierce, yet vulnerable and endangered animals she encountered. It is impossible to look at one of her photographs and not feel her subject’s innate individuality. As part of her artistic process, she spends time with each animal up close in its natural habitat, gets to know...

Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is now an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "If someone else had taken this immersive photograph and asked me which country it had been captured in, Rwanda would be my immediate response. There are mountain gorillas in Uganda and DRC and head on encounters can happen anywhere, but it would take a great deal of persuasion and empirical evidence for me not to regard Rwanda as the odds on favourite location. The number of accessible silverbacks is just so much higher and in my experience the vegetation offers more opportunities for encounters in clearer areas. Cigar shots like this are improbable but not impossible. That is why we keep returning. Most treks are failures for us as we set the bar high, but once in a while it all comes together. Gorilla photography is tough - encounters are intense and normally occur in dense jungle with dappled light and little sense of place. The camera...
