50 Birds: *Incertae Sedis*

50 Birds: Incertae Sedis

Incertae Sedis is Latin for “of uncertain placement” which aptly describes these mysterious creatures created in 2024 and 2025. Each bird is constructed from material taken from a single book or magazine and if you look carefully you may discover details of the original images. All works measure 8 x 8 inches and are mounted on wood panels.
