With advancements in neurology at the forefront of scientific inquiry, what can it offer us in terms of our understanding of other species, and how in-turn does this factor into our perception of human intelligence?
From cave paintings to cartoons, advertising, and neuroscience, my work focuses on the cultural forces that mediate our relationships with other species, framing our ideas of self, and ultimately informing our sense of place and purpose as a species on the planet.
