A striking composite work by Peter Beard, *Buffalos and Eles, Abedares* layers gelatin silver photography with hand-applied ink and affixed photographic elements to create a richly textured document of African wildlife. Beard's signature diary-like aesthetic merges raw imagery of buffalo and elephants in the Aberdare region with obsessive mark-making, blurring the boundary between photography and personal artifact. The result is both a visceral record of the natural world and an intimate meditation on humanity's fraught relationship with the African landscape.
