Heron

By  Karen Melvin 2013
A collection of photographs, drawing, and painting, printed digitally using pigment on Hahnemuhle cotton rag, as part of my series of scrolls, Marginal Extinctions. This scroll contains a dead heron that I found down my road and an indigo bunting that I found in my sister's Florida garden.
