From the Artist: The Common Loon returns yearly to the same nesting grounds, seeking their previous partner. Perhaps their lifelong monogamy is congruent to the search and commitment to love by people.
Drawing from my studies in biology, I have analyzed the animal subjects individually by profile, anatomy, and behavior. Consequently, a special focus began on the diffusion of light through semi-transparent surfaces spreading from the animals into their surroundings. The waterfowl study zooms into a close perspective, with cooler tones and a focus on the reflection of light in calm water.
A common resident in my hometown of Ottawa, the Loon and Canada goose study includes elaborate patterns of vegetation accenting crisp and still waters.
