Animals! Their behavior fascinates us. We invite you to a captivating show on animal behavior modification.Veteran photographer Jeff Millikan has manipulated the internal environment of beehives by putting a book of interest that he has cut and painted with beeswax in to the hive. The bees transform and repair. After several cycles of these modifications he photographs the resulting bee/human collaborative sculptures. Talented
emerging photographer Areca Roe has studied our manufactured point of contact with animals in the zoo habitats we create for them. The activities of the animals are performance pieces of modified natural behaviors we observe while snacking on ice cream cones.
