The human capacity and desire to control, capture and interfere with nature has long been a part of our shared history. The exploitation of raw materials to serve us and the domestication of animals to feed and clothe us has become one of the biggest problems facing the planet. Mass agriculture and farming are exponentially contributing to climate change and all of its potential disasters.

In Taming Nature, the viewer is invited to consider how the natural world has been altered and contained to suit our needs. Eighty five percent of animal life on the planet exists for human consumption, and our wild places are shrinking at an alarming rate. The Anthropocene may be nearing its natural conclusion.
