VISUAL ARTS

In “Flock Together”, Dodson is exploring the idea that similar types of people choose to congregate with other like-minded souls, even if the similarities are beneath the skin, feather or breed, and not immediately apparent or obvious to the viewer. Andy Moerlein’s work has a story teller’s attitude - that tightrope walk between naturalism and symbolism. "The parallels between avian and human - warm bodies, social complexities, and a passion to communicate - fascinate me. Birds see a kinship between our worlds and speak to me personally.” “Avian Language” features a forest of shaped wood, altered trees and ceramic birds in conversation.
