This work examines the human as animal and vice versa. It also reflects on wolf mythology - wildness, freedom, spirituality and loyalty. Because of my intimate relationship with my huskies, who strongly resemble wolves, I began this series by photographing them with me, each other, and alone.The animal is ever-present in this multi-media series. I use every aspect of the dogs, not only as my subjects (video/ photography), but also their fur as material (sculpture), and their paws as a tool to paint.

In terms of the title of the series, “I Wolf” is a double entendre; the first meaning expresses in simple caveman-like language or even child-like language we are all animals. The second meaning uses ‘wolf’ as a verb to replace words, which make it sounds more raw. It allows us to expose our animal side which we are conditioned to suppress or harness in.

Looking at the dogs/wolves, forces me to think about regaining our “wildness,” our true sense of self. T
