This collection represents that time of growth, colour and birth. One of the most asked questions that i get about my photos goes something like this; “I can tell you care greatly about creatures and am wondering how you decided to include them in your stilllife. Also, where did you find the (dead) birds?” I do care about creatures. Maybe I get that from my retired veterinarian dad. All of the birds were found in downtown Toronto by volunteers who work with FLAP Canada. Every morning these volunteer go around the tall office buildings and find migrating birds that have collided with the windows. Injured birds are rehabilitated and released north of Toronto. Dead birds are collected and turned over to The Royal Ontario Museum for safe keeping and storage. The ornithologist, Mark Peck, makes these birds available to scientists and artists. I am so honored to be able to give these little avain beauties a “second life” in my photographs. But why would I do that? A few reasons: My still life photos are “portraits of a time and place” with flora and fauna included. Secondly, the birds remind us of how short and precious life is in the tradition of the Momento Mori paintings. and lastly: I am in awe of their tiny, perfect gorgeous feathers and incredible variety. Every spring that I receive new birds I learn about a species I’d never heard of Every fall when I return them to the ROM I’m sad to see them go.
