“Lefty Veers Right”

| My banner depicts
a raven
hopping through a snow covered backyard away from a torn bag of
garbage. Some items of garbage are either exposed or strewn over
the ground. In the background, a dogwood grows against a picket
fence. “Lefty” was a flightless raven that lived in my neighbourhood for about ten years. He probably died shortly after Christmas 2003. The other ravens tormented him but people would leave scraps of food specifically for him and Lefty was extremely self-sufficient. |

The red twigged dogwood
against the pale turquoise
fence was an image I encountered in a nearby backyard. The three
dimensional garbage bag was a later addition to my original design as
was the inclusion of actual items of garbage. These ideas were
advanced by Rhonda Bobinski and Chris Jinot and seemed appropriate
because I have done a lot of litter picking over the past year.
