Run 

Sue Coe’s monochromatic drawing, “Run,” depicts a hunting scene and offers a stark commentary on humanity's relationship with the natural world. The image’s power comes from visual codes that undermine familiar narratives of the hunt. Coe presents the hunter as an almost clownish figure, holding a baby bear, while its mother lies dead in the back of a pickup truck. The scene evokes the hunter's brutal intrusion upon the wilderness, with deer carcasses hanging overhead and another orphaned bear cub at his feet. As a social history, it speaks to the politics of imagery by critiquing what has become normalized. Was this made in the US? To fully understand it, one could look into how hunting practices affect wildlife populations or how shifting cultural values influence our attitudes toward nature. Coe challenges the institutions that normalize the hunt.
