For the Birds, Part of Solo Show Of Ash & Air (2023)

Time-based seed sculptures co-created with wild birds

Excerpt from 2-channel video, 6:39 minutes

Co-created with wild birds in Upstate New York. This video documents the birds as they eat, transforming the sculpture to reveal a secondary form hidden underneath the seeds. The sculptures appear as a hybrid bird-human, hinting at ancient legends while also representing future possibilities where humanity shifts into a role of attending to nature. Collaboration with Leslie Ruckman.
