"This book is a record of every search term I entered into Google during a five-month sabbatical in early 2006. During this time I was beginning a body of work , 'Souvenirs from Human, My Mammal' based on animal attraction and famous zoo animals. I spent many days during this sabbatical at petting zoos, farms, and traveling circuses, watching people interact with these animals. I was most drawn to the tigers, the wolves and the cheetahs--animals who could kill me with the swipe of one paw. I was frightened by my desire to reach through the small fence and pet them. I watched their expressions, comparing them to that of my dog. I imagined I understood the tiger's movements, that her flattened ears meant the same as his. This false sense of security both frightens me and fuels my desire to touch these animals"--Page ix.
