War Hawk | Peace Dove

New works by Maria KozakMay 9 - 31, 2013Opening Reception: May 9, 5:30 - 8 p.m. at PlatteForum[quote]"For centuries birds have fascinated man, perhaps for their ability to fly and thus proximity to the supernatural. We have cast them as symbols of war, peace, vanity, courage, independence, wisdom, strength, greed, and harbingers of doom. When I observe birds I see all of these traits manifested within their own societies. Their behaviors parallel ours and vice versa. To me birds are as complex and contradictory as we are."--Maria Kozak[/quote]Please join us for an opening reception to kick off WarHawk | Peace Dove on Thursday, May 9, 2013, at PlatteForum, 5:30 - 8 p.m. A brief program featuring artist talks by the artist and youth will take place at around 6:15 p.m.Special thanks to McLoughlin's Restaurant and Bar and Whole Foods Cherry Creek for sponsoring and providing delicious appetizers and snacks at the reception.
