Biophilia means "love of nature." The word was invented by evolutionary biologist E. O. Wilson, who believes that biophilia is a deep human instinct. Artist Christopher Marley is a biophiliac, and his art expresses his passionate engagement with the beautiful forms of nature. Beginning with insects, and moving on to aquatic life, reptiles, birds, plants, and minerals, Marley has used his skills as a designer, conservator, taxidermist, and environmentally responsible collector to make images that produce strong, positive emotional responses in viewers.
