Exhibition Label: "Cabinets of Curiosity: Musing About Collections," Jun-2006, Joseph Keehn and Madeline Rislow Between 1998 and 2002, photographer Terry Evans mined the collections of the Field Museum in Chicago for her series, "Prairie Specimens." This series includes photographic images of pressed plant specimens, drawers of birds, snakes preserved in jars, insects pinned in boxes, and this swan, swaddled for safe storage for over a century. Evans's photographs invoke our response to the beauty inherent in natural forms, but further invites us to reflect on the nature of our intervention as collectors, scientists and curators.
