Taking Flight
Birds seem all knowing as they twist and turn their heads, absorbing the vocal world around them. In the midst of which they seem fully engaged – abruptly jumping, twisting, and plunging from the security of a tree branch, with no notice or particular reason. Others demonstrate skill and grace in pushing off terra firma into the open sky, seeking a target to land and encompass with their talons. Meanwhile, shore birds appear so independent and unconcerned until one glimpses something of interest. Quickly all others mimic the move, rapidly diving into competitive unison. Karen Mason captures such moments in her “Taking Flight” series with a monotone palette and open spaces, allowing the viewer to focus in on the subject, its movements in flight, soaring pelicans and shore birds to raptors in continuous motion.
