Description
About this piece:
A sculptural book work, with multiple display options, housed in a custom box with built up supports attached to the tray. The 10 panels (both square and triangular shapes) are hinged at either side using a wire-edge adaptation. Images and text present data about one of the sad realities Passeriformes face during seasonal, night time migrations. The conflict between night flying and urban lighting along North American Flyways is one of many factors that contribute to the decline of Passeriform populations in North America.
