Sculptor Ellen Jewett brings together zoology, botany, ecological principles, and surrealism to explore human concepts of nature as familiar and comforting but also alien and indifferent. In “Creatures Both Serene and Deeply Strange,” Jewett describes to contributing editor Sandra J. Ackerman her process of creating the plants and animals in her works through meticulous research and the techniques of medical illustration. Vulpes Anima (Soul Fox), created in 2024, depicts intricate relationships among a variety of life forms, both predatory and vulnerable. Using natural, local, and recycled materials wherever possible, Jewett invites human viewers to think more about conservation and our connections with the nonhuman world.
