That’s why […]
Artist Rick Silva, whose new media landscapes were on view at TRANSFER Gallery last year, has just launched a new project — The Silva Guide to Birds of a Parallel Future. The 18 short videos 30 seconds in length depict fantastical birds or their parts in flight — a cube of ruffling feathers, sleek swallows diving […]
