Born

Object Label
Born features a theme that has prevailed in Kiki Smith’s work for years—the relationship between animals, particularly wolves, and humans. This image subverts the story line of one of the world’s best-known fairy tales by imagining Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother as born of the wolf rather than eaten by him.
