A Natural History of Believability : the believability of natural history
Ray, Michelle (Book artist)
"Natural History explores our fascination with facsimiles and the relationship between signs and the things they signify. Illustrated with a vanitas-style rabbit image as a recurring motif, this book's brief essay looks at how things such as taxidermy and ornithological prints shape our relationship to the natural world. The viewer experiences a discord between representation and the real and is confronted with the question of which is more appealing"--Artist's website, viewed June 11, 2013.
