Christopher Marley explains one of several installations for his exhibition "Exquisite Creatures" at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

The relationship between nature and art is as old as art itself. According to the Smithsonian, the oldest known extant cave drawing is of a babirusa, also called a deer-pig, native to Indonesia. Fast forward about 35,000 years to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville to the Exquisite Creatures exhibit.
