A man attempts to stop is fall. Wings are attached to his tattooed arm.
  • Icarus
  • Palladium on Japanese gampi.
  • 2019
  • 21.5 X 29.5 inches

With wings attached, as in the Greek myth of Icarus, this man is attempting to stop his fall. Throughout history, humans have used the natural resources of this earth. Working with nature is what we need to do. But with our takeover of land for development and overuse of pesticides we are experiencing the loss of numbers of birds.
