Artist Statement

The White footed mouse represents how if someone saw a mother white footed mouse eating her babies they would think that its wrong and gross because it is not something that our culture is use to and to us it would be considered cannibalism. However, if we saw two dears fighting in a Disney movie they would consider it as heroic and brave. Our culture wouldn't see anything wrong with the two dears butting heads, it would be considered self defense and fighting for their rights, which is encouraged in our culture. This painting represents how our culture thinks that our way is the right and only way to live and doesn't accept other ways of living, although our way of living is not the only way of living. According to the book My Ismael by Daniel Quinn their is no one way or one right way of living.
