We have created a “flock” of at least one hundred 20” weatherproof circular signs in shades of yellow with silhouetted figures of crows that would be suspended from four sycamore trees on a downtown street. On one side of each sign will be a silhouetted figure and on the reverse the same image will be overlaid with a word or short phrase. The words will represent many cultural aspects of the ties between man and bird.  These words reveal, in their complexity and contradiction, a web of meaning that informs our relationship with this fascinating species.
