Some of my favorites were "Migration 1 and Migration 2" that are drawn birds on a light purple and light yellow background. The drawings were created in 2008 on mixed media background. The mixed media background was made of handmade paper and nautical charts.



These drawings are well done and is a look at nature (birds on an electrical line) where birds must adapt to perching on electrical wires instead of tree limbs. The pulse of electricity nearby could be hazardous to the birds and yet they linger unknowingly.

It is amazing how as people that we don't realize that plants and species can become extinct at any moment. Just because a plant or animal exists at the moment does not mean that the species will continue to survive. We create the environment for ourselves and those of the animal and plant species around us. What we create affects the world around us. Sarah's theme looks at how birds live in an environment that could be hazardous to their health.

I have been taking a pottery class at Green River Community College and part of our class was to view Sarah Dillion's drawings. My pottery teacher,  also like crows as I do. Some of his work can be found at: http://www.galleryima.com/artists/metivier.html

I am really enjoying Paul's class at Green River Community College and I recommend anyone wanting to learn to throw some pots to take his class.
