The gallery will be aswarm with Isabella Kirkland's creatures - Formicinae, Trochilidae, Araneae, Dasypus, Murinae, Lacertilia (ants, hummingbirds, spiders, armadillos, mice/rats, lizards) and various Mammalia - all sculpted from organic materials (seeds, twigs, pods, leaves, etc.) that she collects while on her daily walks. Ingenious and charming, they're guaranteed to surprise, captivate, and delight.

Through these remarkable sculptures, Kirkland transforms ordinary natural materials into an imaginative menagerie that blurs the boundaries between observation and invention. Carefully assembled from found organic elements, each creature reflects the artist’s close attention to the forms, structures, and behaviors of the animal kingdom. The resulting works invite viewers to look more closely at the overlooked details of the natural world and the extraordinary complexity hidden within it.

At once playful and deeply informed by nature, the sculptures celebrate biodiversity through a language of transformation and craftsmanship. Seeds become feathers, pods become bodies, and twigs become limbs, revealing unexpected affinities between plant and animal forms. By reimagining familiar species through collected materials, Kirkland highlights the interconnectedness of living systems and the creative possibilities embedded in the landscape around us.

The exhibition offers an experience of wonder rooted in curiosity and discovery. Moving through the gallery, visitors encounter creatures that feel both scientifically recognizable and fantastically reimagined, occupying a space between natural history and storytelling. Together, these works reflect the artist’s enduring fascination with the richness of life on Earth and her ability to reveal beauty, humor, and surprise through the simplest materials.
