Lynn Northrop (b. 1946)

This sculpture was selected from the exhibition, Out of the WILD, curated by Véronique Côté for CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, NY and presented July 9-August 14, 2021. The artist made the following statement about her bird sculptures:

In my work the birds get their power from the objects of which they are made – objects once used by others every day. Butter knives, auto parts, candlesticks, and masonry tools – each retains a memory of the many hands that used them.  When combined, these connections amplify, and the sculptures become capacitors of thought.
