What the Crows Brought Me

What The Crows Brought Me is solo exhibition featuring 20 new mixed media reliquaries created by assemblage artist Dianne Hoffman to honor the sacred exchange of recognition and transference between species. Through a progression of dimensional, staged vignettes, Dianne presents a visual narrative of the give-and-take relationship developed over time between humans and crows. Each work cleverly reveals the accumulation of a flock’s daily delivery of found objects offered as gifts of gratitude.
