Visual Materials
A set of six giclée prints printed in 2023 of art created from 2015 to 2018 by artist John LaMacchia and illustrators Daniel (Dan) Cole and Peter David Scott. Each print includes images of birds reminiscent of John James Audubon's illustrations in Birds of America (1827) but are set in modern natural environments that have been littered by humans with garbage and plastic waste such as helium balloons, convenience store bags, prescription pill bottles, syringes, six-pack rings, and other examples of packaged goods and products. Titles include: Eastern Towhee (2015); Blue Jay (2016); Red Knot (2016); Double-Crested Cormorant (2016); Great Blue Heron (2016); and The Mourning Dove (2018). The prints are titled and labeled in cursive, and each print includes the edition number in the top-left corner, the printer's name in the bottom-left corner, and the illustrator's name in the bottom-right corner. Dan Cole is signed as the illustrator for five of the prints, and Peter David Scott is signed as the illustrator for one print, The Mourning Dove. The lower-right corner of each print also includes a chop (printer's mark) blind embossed with John LaMacchia's name and initials. This is the tenth edition out of the fifty that were printed.
