Bird In The Hand

August 22, 2019

From July 15, 2016 through October 14, 2016, The Workshop featured an installation titled A Bird in the Hand.

Birds have inspired artists working in all media with their colors, patterns, textures, and personalities. 

Inspired by Christopher Patch’s Migration—on view in the Modern Menagerie installation—visitors created a flock of flying bird sculptures. In the Workshop, however, they had only two materials: paper for shape and washi tape for pattern.
