Broken: 13 Undocumented Birds

2021
70" X 47"
Woven and stitched wire, fabric, threads
The Red-Tailed Texas Blackbird migrates back and forth between Mexico and the United States.  Invariably, as the main flock passes north over the border, a small group will dive and slam right into the wall, perishing instantly. Broken birds fall, to be devoured by the harsh ecosystem of the borderlands. The moment of impact, the violence, the sorrow, the mystery of this frequent occurrence haunts me. Visually capturing this natural phenomenon with beauty and respect for our avian companions for many to share, I hope to provoke discourse. Slats and bird elements were woven separately then stitched together.
