Pfeilstörche / Ethno-Ornithology
2024 -

Inspired by the story of the Pfeilstorch, and informed by my time at a bird rehabilitation center where human-bird interaction is at its most critical, this ongoing body of work seeks to capture the complicated relationship we share with our feathered neighbors. Each piece of drawing, printmaking, photography, collage, and video reflects the often coincidental nature of these interactions. In doing so I aim to depict ways in which birds adapt to human-altered environments, as well as the cultural and emotional weight birds add to our lives.
