Migratory Folly

11 x 14 watercolour cold-pressed paper. Mixed Media, watercolour, gouache & pencil crayons. 2024.

The act of migration is often one that involves commitment to a long arduous journey followed by meaningful change. In the case of flamingoes, they will migrate to warmer waters to raise their young.  

This piece shows flamingoes who chose not to migrate, but their actions show them trying to fool themselves by making their environment fit the needs migrating would have fulfilled.
