In Shadow Of
The MLK monument in Washington DC portrays the massive sculpted image (to the left) of Martin Luther King emerging from a mountain of stone. In so doing, the figurative portal to freedom opens.

Many remember the same experience but none remembers what they would have done with the bird (if they caught it).

Many see birds as the name suggests. A splatter of black, white and gray, its name also acknowledges the style of Jackson Pollock. This image takes a photo, layers colors separately, desaturates, and reassembles layers at different relative scales. A cacophony of sound and light within the grace of avian flight is the result.
