Stephanie McNeal and Ariella Scott curated a wunderkammer tour of noses at The Field Museum after much neurotic discussion about the shape of their own noses. Really, why are their noses so big? Combined research from the duo of researchers revealed, like all artists already know, form follows function. The following tour’s intention is to educate the viewer about noses of the animals in the collection, while simultaneously engaging critical thought in the viewer’s mind about their own unique nose.
The easily accessible knowthenose Tumblr page, created and illustrated by Miss McNeal, allows for the tourist to conduct the tour at his or her own time and pace. Miss Scott created the map for the project, while consolidating all research into concise paragraphs that point out the same key points for each animal: context for use of animal’s nose in the wild and how form serves function in survival.
