​“Murmuration of the Ancestors”
Oil on Panel
​31” x 48”

   This painting uses expressions of an abstracted dove. In “Murmuration of the Ancestors” I created a bird murmuration with fractals of 7 generations (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64) to symbolize the presence of generations who have gone before and the cloud of witnesses. That same dove shape is overlayed 7 times in the seed pods to symbolize release, new beginnings, and an opportunity for contemplation for what I want to take to seed in the generations to come.
