Ornithology - Liz Hixon

Project Statement

This spatial exploration was designed to be an emotional experience for the viewer. Charlie Parker's life was an intriguing one: it was both happy and sad, exciting and tragic. This exhibit shows that as the viewer moves through the space. Upon entering, viewers are greeted with a smiling picture of Charlie Parker and the eye is quickly drawn to the theme of birds, flying and happily sitting on a wire, much like the notes of Charlie's saxophone floated on their staves. As the viewer rounds the corner to exit the museum, they are greeted with grey tones, which represent the sadness and tragedy associated with Parker's life, yet his smiling face is still seen as a memorial to the freedom he found in music and the legacy he left behind.
