Migration Myths
Human-sized sculptures in wire mesh and recycled materials make up a series of mythic winged bird-figures inspired by cultures across the world. They begin as small one-foot wire figures, and some grow large. Imagine if they came together in a migration caravan, expressing timeless human needs, cross-cultural influences, and environmental and social impacts. Migratory birds and migrating humans can both be considered endangered today.
