Nicholas Crombach
"My work investigates the relevance of morals with regard to our relationship with animals. Producing an inquiry into human nature, the animals that I have used to visually depict my interest, derive from my experiences and upbringing on a dairy farm.
Our capacity to have a moral obligation is unique to humans and intuitively causes us to anthropomorphize and morally consider the world around us. This characteristic of our nature makes us paradoxically empathize the animals we sacrifice while sustaining human life and culture. Dealing with the complexity of this issue the sculptures I produce wrestle with the dilemmas of being human as I provide visual representations of the mixed feelings we have towards animals."
