About The Work
In Hunting Standards, Dion addresses “hunting as a cultural practice that is rich in traditions, passionately pursued, and highly controversial.” His major concern is with the power of knowledge in a field like hunting, where expertise means the assured destruction of life. The cartoon-like aesthetic of these banners, silk screen prints from an edition of 20, adds a compelling visual twist to Dion’s invocation of the 19th-century cabinet-of-curiosities.
