Sandy Skoglund

Fox Games


     This photo is part of Sandy Skoglund installation called Fox Games. It was originally displayed in 1989, and is currently up at the Denver Art Museum. This piece shows the excitement, curiosity,and playfulness of foxes. I do not understand why Skoglund put the animals in a human setting. After reading more about the series, I found out one intended theme was how calm humanity is compared to how chaotic the animal world is. When I first looked at this piece, my interpretation was the exact opposite. I saw the playfulness and simplicity of animals and how humanity is set up and organized.
