“Roadkill” begins with fully sculpted birds modeled after common Maine species, which are then intentionally run over with a car. By recreating a normalized form of human-caused wildlife death through an act of deliberate destruction, the work transforms familiar local birds into intimate objects of mourning and remembrance.
