A library wide installation commissioned by Tempe Public Arts for Tempe Public Library to Celebrate Summer Reading theme of “All Together Now: Kindness, Unity and Friendship.” I kept thinking of the idiom "birds of a feather flock together." I liked the idea that we all worked together to enjoy and create a library space that works for everyone, I did not like the idea that we only stick with our own common group, with more research I found that many birds are very friendly (with other birds) and congregate in nocks, though the flocks are not always just a single type of bird and mixed flocks are common.
