Malcolm Moran's recent work from his Birds I Have Noticed series are inspired by the John J Audubons The Birds of America, a folio of engraved plates produced between 1827-1838 from watercolors created from observation along the Eastern United States.
The bulk of these drawings were made during his sojourn in the Louisiana delta region (Malcolms bithplace and spiritual font). Where Audubon focused his attention on the onthological and formal artistic observation of birds, Malcolms interests lie in the curious behavior of different bird species and the similar and perhaps related behavior of humans.
