ghostbirds in winter

Hand-cut vinyl on window and wall

240 x 120 in (609.6 x 304.8 cm)

I have added this image as an example of a similar space to High Garden Towers. The space at Stantec was like a fishbowl, with opportunities to utilize the wall behind the window to extend the design.

ghost birds in winter is a site and season-specific work that captures birds' beautiful and naturally organized chaos in flight through jagged, snow-covered peaks. The white of the vinyl on the surface starkly contrasts with the surrounding grayness of winter. In a nod to the shiny promise of spring, a gold disc hangs on the interior wall of the gallery space. The irreality of this vision is cut away to reveal the depth of the gallery space and the every day reflections of the street in the windows.
