Momentary Flock, Sam Phillips

Is the essential quality of a nest its physical structure or the sense of togetherness created among a group? Phillips’s Momentary Flock suspends time and reminds us of different ways we can create community. Rising from the ground as if taking flight, winged windcatchers respond to the breeze with an improvisational choreography and invite us to imagine ourselves momentarily as one of the flock, sharing, as Phillips states, “a sense of freedom and weightlessness.”
