Wildlife is artificial. Even an encounter with a living, breathing animal is bound by unseen regulation. Habitats are fragmented, populations are controlled, predators are decimated, and survivors are displaced to the edge of human comfortability. Boundary lines are drawn and animals are expected to obey. Subversion of this obedience is punishable by death. These realizations underpin my exploration as an artist. I produce conceptual, new genre public artworks that center wild animals with site-specificity. This interdisciplinary community work is meant to condemn the human-animal distanciation narrative of colonialism, conceptualize a cityscape re-enchanted by regional wildlife, and promote interspecies municipalism. Both real and imaginary encounters with animals influence human perceptions of cohabitation vs. eradication, a dichotomy that ultimately determines the uncertain fate of wild lives. My practice of creative reintroduction simultaneously presents opposing theoretical futures: First, where interspecies cohabitation post-modernity is facilitated and embraced. Second, where all but human species are eradicated and only simulacra remain. In the midst of consumer-driven ecocide and the systemic annihilation of other-than-human animals (theriocide), a confrontation of anthropocentric placemaking is vital within and beyond the artworld.
