I'm honored to be included in three exhibitions from Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss, an international art project seeking to provoke change by exposing the negative consequences of exhausting natural resources. My work pays homage to the passenger pigeon, once the most abundant bird in the world. Considered cheap meat, the birds were zealously hunted throughout North America. Martha, the last passenger pigeon, died in the Cincinnati zoo in 1914.
