\u201cI guess I didn\u2019t realize everybody\u2019s kitchen didn\u2019t sometimes smell like oil paint and turpentine, and that it was unusual that sometimes when you got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, your mom would be up at two in the morning painting,\u201d Tim Sanderson reflected with a smile. <\/p>\n

He cites his mother as a major influence for his interest in art.
\n\u201cShe would let you know if your art needed work, but she\u2019d do it in a way that made you think, \u2018Yeah, I can fix that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSchweinlebensraum\u201d (\u201cLiving Space for Pigs as Pigs\u201d), an original futuristic drawing by Tim Sanderson, was inspired by the counterfactual conjecture \u201cIf pigs could fly \u2026\u201d to accompany Dr. David Nemeth\u2019s piece titled \u201cSpace, Time and Pig.\u201d<\/p><\/div>Sanderson, college computing administrator, and Dr. David Nemeth, professor of geography, have worked collaboratively on several projects while at The University of Toledo \u2014 Nemeth writes, and Sanderson illustrates the sardonic works. <\/p>\n

The pair most recently teamed up for their third collaborative piece; this one is about wild pigs. Nemeth explained that he examines what it would be like if pigs were free beings, rather than factory farmed for the sole purpose of being eaten. <\/p>\n

\u201cI took the popular idiom \u2018If pigs could fly,\u2019 which would mean something is totally impossible,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd yet, pigs can fly through technology and science, with planes and such. So, I\u2019m thinking perhaps they can fly above their conditions of pigs as pork, and become pigs as pigs again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanderson recalled when Nemeth reached out to him about his most recent work: \u201cWhen I asked what he needed me to draw, he said he wanted a post-modern, flying pig, and I told him I wasn\u2019t even sure what that means.\u201d <\/p>\n

But Nemeth liked what Sanderson came up with, and the flying pig was included. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe University is a real intellectual community, which is what a university is supposed to be,\u201d Nemeth said. \u201cIt\u2019d be great if we could make this a real collaborative, creative community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpace, Time and Pig\u201d will be published in Ecology, Conservation and Management of Wild Pigs and Peccaries<\/em> (Cambridge University Press) later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
