Plight of the Flamingos

by B. W. Watler

Mixed media on mixed fabrics, hand and machine stitched.

My imagination was captured by the newspaper and television reports of MetroZoo harboring their fragile flamingo colony in the public restrooms for safety during Hurricane Andrew. I often use humor in my art and wanted to make one lighthearted memory of this experience.
