Abstract

The article discusses an exhibition at the Addison Gallery of American Art featuring the work of photographer and writer Rosamond Purcell. The exhibition explores Purcell's identity as an artist and collector, as well as her exploration of the boundaries between living and nonliving, natural and fabricated, and mundane and bizarre. Purcell's photographs depict animals and natural specimens in various stages of decay and transformation, often with human-like features. The exhibition aims to challenge traditional thinking and highlight the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world. [Extracted from the article]
