SIDEWALK GALLERY PRESENTS
Birds & Their Habitat
Patricia Brentano Bramnick
Artist Statement:
We have lost our connection to the natural world. Nature is not neat. We fail to see its authenticity. Birds, bees, butterflies and their habitat are disappearing from the suburban landscape. According to Doug Tallamay in his book Nature’s Best Hope, “whether we like nature or not none of us will be able to live for long in a world without it.”
My work is about seeing and appreciating the authenticity of nature.
Drawings are Graphite, charcoal and pastel, and graphite and vellum.
Aluminum panel is painted aluminum.
Hanging is hand cut shoji paper.
