Darwin took up the study of domesticated pigeons in 1855 and his observations of artificial selection in pigeon breeding was invaluable to his understanding of the way species change in natural environments. 2)"Coop" is a mixed-media installation based on Darwin’s five-sided pigeon coop. 3)"Frameworks of Absence: The Extinct Birds of John James Audubon” includes 10 altered prints from “Birds of America.”
