Coming from Paris to San Antonio, living and working for 3 months at the Majestic Ranch Art Foundation in the Hill Country has been a gold mine for the new works of French artist, Anne Ferrer. Anything found or observed in those wild, almost untouched hills is a pretext for new works: A large set of reindeer horns, coyote and wild pig tracks, shell fossils, birds, snakes and spiders and amazing spiraled dried patties from the ranch cows are inspiring discoveries that are totally "alien" to Ferrer.

 The "alien" has found its way into drawings that Ferrer has been working on since she arrived. Whimsical pregnant pink squirts roll over Texas country furniture made of wood and leather flowing forth from a taxidermy white tail deer's mouth. Organic goo intermingles with horns that have been dropped after the rut. Ferrer creates drawings that capture the in- process of internalizing the new and exotic, giving that experience a delicious and scary feeling of total strangeness.
