Catalogue Note
“Her primary focus, as well as an abiding feel for form and placement, seems to be display: how things are presented to us, as offerings, gifts, rituals of animal attraction. Looking at art, we often forget that we are animals too.” Adrian Searle, “Carol Bove’s Seductive Sculptures Force us to Confront our Inner Animal,” The Guardian, 21 April 2015
