  • The photographs were taken during a shooting experience of birds of prey that reside at the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center. The project includes three 7x11” Polymer Photogravures on Rives BFK paper. The prints are mounted and presented in a collapsible presentation structure inspired by Sarah Horowitz and Rory Sparks. Each of these are titled with the bird’s name, species common name, and scientific name. These three are then housed in a 3-level slipcase outer structure.
