Inspired by dioramas of wild flora and fauna found in natural
history museums, Jim Naughten's digital reimaginations of a
familiar yet alien world, explore the idea of wildlife becoming a
lost fantasy. From orangutans swinging through psychedelic forests,
to deer roaming pastel-hued canyons-Naughten's depictions of nature
in an artificial color palette convey a distinct sense of
dislocation and growing estrangement. His fantastical tableaus
question our rose tinted image of the natural world that is largely
fictional. In fact we are entering the Eremozoic-a term coined by
biologist and writer E. O. Wilson to describe the current era of
mass extinction triggered by human activity. Also referred to as
The Age of Loneliness, the term alludes to the isolation that will
follow the destruction of our deeply rooted relationships with
other species.
