MURMURE

This collection explores the ordered chaos that composes every living organism on earth, utilizing ornithological anatomy and formation as a case study. I am constantly intrigued with and inspired by the raw, rugged beauty of nature, and the underlying repetition of pattern that creates a harmony of being. Whether zooming in on a micro level to examine the gorgeous geometric formations of feathers and wing patterns, or panning out to observe the awe-inspiring displays of starling murmurations, there appears a constant flux and balance between chaos and order. I utilize color and texture to represent the wildness and chaos of existence, juxtaposed with pen and ink patterns that appear within and through each creature. With this collection, I hope to instill a curiosity within the viewer for the wonder of creation, for all creatures great and small.
