Know your Wind Turbines and Waterfowl

 

Carved and painted basswood, pine shelf, and framed ink on bristol drawings, 2008

When it comes to alternative energy sources, there is no better option than wind turbines, unless you are a bird. This piece resembles a mantel of collected duck decoys and features drawings that allow the viewer to identify various types of historical decoys as well as wind turbines.
