Garbage order. Herring Gulls. Brooklyn
A Herring Gull unwittingly goes organic by dining on leftovers from 'Wholefoods' - meanwhile claiming he's king of the Hill. Herring Gulls - and other species of Gull - have 'pecking orders' or loose hierarchies articulated by scaled dominance and submission. Most gull species coyly benefit from human refuse and economies of waste. Their numbers greatly increased in NYC during the Fresh Kill years. Those numbers are now plummeting following the closing of the 'world's largest dump' on Staten Island.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
