Ghost Birds

 

2019
series of 10 works, 12-15" x 7.5" x 6" 
mat-board, wood, plexi-glass, metal, astro turf, acrylic paint, collaged print material 


"Ghost Birds" consists of 10 sculptures that each suggest a narrative involving one or more birds leaving a ghostly print after colliding with a window. 
The narratives are inteneded to create a dialogue between the natural world and it's interaction with our constructed presence. 
In this case, each bird has been fooled by its respective window in the same way one might be fooled by the astro turf and false landscape wall paper.
"Ghost Birds" is a continuation of my current interest in the relationships we have with the natural world and the physical barriers we constuct in and around it.
