by **R. J. Kern** (Author), **George Slade** (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), **Lisa Volpe** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

_The Sheep and the Goats_ represents two bodies of work, _The Bovidae: Divine Animals_ and _Out to Pasture_, in visual conversation. The work calls attention to the cultural landscapes surrounding domesticated animals. _The Bovidae: Divine Animals_ looks at animals and environments in Kern's ancestral heritage: Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland. _Out to Pasture_ responds as a meditation on rural America from his home state of Minnesota, USA. Together, these projects offer perspective on the meaning of pastoral in contemporary time. Among Kern's influences are the landscape painters of the nineteenth century, especially regarding the use of light and composition.
