Frederieke Taylor gallery is pleased to announce its fourth one person show with Christy Rupp. Rupp’s exhibition will include 13 life-size skeletal reconstructions of several species of birds for whom the trap door of survival has been slammed shut. Reconstructed primarily from chicken bones collected by the artist, extinct species include the Dodo, the Great Auk, the Moa, the California Condor, the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, and a small flock of Carolina Parakeets. All are life size and have been reproduced from observation.
