About the Pieces: “Flight One” and “Flight Two,” are a callback to 1940s Hollywood classic glamour, with an intriguing juxtaposition between pattern and the female figure. Interpret the bird as you may, such as her fleeting thoughts, longing for another life, expressiveness for adventure, or noticing a moment of beauty.
