Ann Craven: Animals, Birds, Flowers, Moons
Author:
Publisher: Karma, New York
ISBN: 9781949172607
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
A panorama of painterly motifs, combined and reprised Ann Craven (born 1972) superimposes source photographs, historical works and her own paintings, creating mediated images that feature layer upon layer of referentiality--a collage of her most treasured curios. Peacocks showcase their plumage; birds perch on a branch; a trio of horses pose "just so." Through these acts of creation and recreation, Craven becomes both master and copyist, citing herself in her own art historical lineage. Animals, birds, flowers, moons: Craven's motifs are in themselves an incantation--a wish to repeat, reencounter, relive. In keeping with this process of revisitation, Craven's paintings are repeated in threes throughout this fully illustrated catalog, mimicking the tripartite structure of her Animals Birds Flowers Moonsexhibition. The book is divided into three parts, each paired with one of three texts: two newly commissioned essays by Durga Chew-Bose and Keith Mayerson, and a 2021 interview between Craven and Lois Dodd.

The Humane Gardener
Author: Nancy Lawson
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1616896175
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Laughing Flowers and Blooming Animals
Author: Al Allaway
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557041953
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Of all the species of plants and animals on this planet, consider the odds of finding same-name flowers and animals for every letter of the English alphabet. This idea first rooted forty years earlier when Al Allaway was photographing wildflowers for the Oregon Native Plant Society. Author of twelve other books, Al faced the challenge of this first children's book. It is a great learning tool for beginning readers, promoting the love of Nature and the great outdoors. It shows God's great creation everywhere. By coupling the flowers and animals together with rhyming riddles, Al says the blossom was finally pollinated when color illustrations became available.
