Bird watching

Bird Watching explores the idea of constructed landscape and is inspired by natural history illustrations and botany journals. The book documents how nature and fabricated elements can combine to create a scene that questions what is natural. This hard bound book is composed of twelve color photographs of fake birds placed in various landscapes, specimen labels, field notes and diagrams.

Out of print.
