Two chromogenic prints enriched with paint, affixed photographs, and feathers form this dynamic diary-based work by Peter Beard, blending documentary photography with raw, tactile mark-making. Created in 1976, the piece reflects Beard's signature obsessive journaling practice, weaving together imagery and material to evoke the fragility of the natural world and his deep preoccupation with African wildlife. References to Lartigue and Bacon suggest an autobiographical layering, connecting Beard's artistic influences to his visceral, collage-driven aesthetic.
