Artist Talk with Ruth Marshall – Closely Knit: A Textile Analysis of Animals

Ruth Marshall’s artwork brings attention to illegal wildlife trade and species loss in a way that unites a widened audience of scientists, art enthusiasts and the general public. Her life-size, knitted pelts of tigers, leopards, coral snakes and Australian marsupials exemplify how artisan goods have the potential to have higher commercial value than poached skins on the black market. Marshall will discuss her creative process, as well as her research at museums and zoos, and how her own experience working at the Bronx Zoo inspired her artwork.
