Murmuration: 1) an instance of low,
continuous sound, as of a stream, wind,
or soft voices. 2) A flock of starlings. 3)
Contemporary artist Katherine Kean’s
latest body of work exploring the
kinetic character of birds and nature.
“At a particular time at the end of the
day birds gather in large numbers and
swoop back and forth across the sky,
emerging from the dusk like a dark
cloud and creating elegant patterns
against the fading light. How and why
they do this is a mystery, but whatever
the reason this behavior is compelling
to observe as individual birds disappear
into the whole and become part of
something larger.”
Extending the idea and organization of
flocking birds, many of the paintings in
this series also form parts of a whole.
Among the paintings are two triptychs,
a two piece modular painting, and a
series of small squares that can be re-
arranged to form various patterns of
bird flight. To view a few additional
examples of possible arrangements,
