TODD R. FORSGREN: BIRDWATCHER AND ECOLOGIST
APRIL 22 – MAY 30, 2017
“American fine art photographer Todd Forsgren photographs birds that have been caught in mist nets as part of scientific surveys and ornithological research. During this moment, the birds inhabit a fascinating conceptual space between our framework of ‘the bird in the bush and the bird in the hand.’ The captured creatures appear embarrassed, fearful, angry, and vulnerable. Forsgren photographs the birds in the fragile moments after they fly into the nets and just before the ornithologist removes them to be weighed and measured. After the bird becomes ‘known’ and the data are collected, it is then released back into the woods unharmed.”
