ON THE LOOKOUT
"On The Lookout" is a series inspired by a raven that occasionally sits outside my studio window watching for, and responding to, sound and movement. One spring day, while reading about the phenomena of crop circles, I noticed this raven peeking through the window as if checking out the photos. At that moment, the seed for "On The Lookout" had sprouted and this exciting conceptual exploration had begun.
