The Night the BarnowlsContemplated the Universe
Inner Voices:  The Art of Peter R. Gerbert

"Theintelligence of some animals and birds cannot only be measured, but cannot be fullycomprehended by us humble human beings, if comprehended at all.  Dolphins havesocieties and wage wars, Elephants grieve for, and bury their own dead. What can be saidabout the Wise Old Owl?...

It is largelybecause of this wonderful species, that I came up with this idea for a series of paintingsdepicting "animal and bird thought." I have come in close contact with severalspecies of wild Owls, and their stare is usually the same; it pierces the soul, it reachesmy heart, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that these creatures have the ability tothink, reason and learn.

Mankind likesto think that we are the only species that have wondered about the night sky, it'senormous depth, and the origins of Life.  Are we the only species that have wonderedabout this, really? I say, let your imaginations answer your questions for you."

-Peter R. Gerbert
