Extinct Icons

In Loving Memory is a series of books honoring extinct birds and pinups. Screenprint and transfer prints layered on paper create an overlapping narrative of our obsession with the pretty things we collect.  Each tragic tale is unique, many were wiped out due to human activity. Prints are hand stitched into repurposed funeral guestbooks noting the date of extinction. They were exploited for their beauty and revered in death making them icons.
