_Red Feather Basket 2_ is the second in a series of small baskets that are decorated with my signature feathers made from recycled plastic bags. This is a small piece and all the feathers are cut from larger scraps leftover from other work. Recycling my own work is my effort at reducing my own studio footprint.

RED FEATHER BASKET 2

The feathers in _Corona de Plumas_ are cut into curved forms that echo the shape of feathers. This piece is built in layers and resembles traditional indigenous headdresses worn in ritual ceremonies. Wrapped sticks have appeared in my work for many years and in this piece, they define the middle of the piece. I also incorporate the long tail feathers in the lower half of the piece and also use unfrayed rope. The feathers made from plastic recycled bags screen printed with images of endangered birds and overprinted with text in endangered languages such as Yiddish, Shorthand, numerous indigenous languages, and excerpts of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in Spanish. Part of the new smaller works collection

CORONA DE PLUMAS

**Accidentals is a mural sized piece whose title is a based on the word that describes birds that appear in habitats where they aren't generally found often as a result of habitat fragmentation. I make the feathers from recycled plastic bags screen printed with images of endangered birds and overprinted with text in endangered languages such as Yiddish, Shorthand, numerous indigenous languages and excerpts of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.**
