Art in the Wild
Season 7 Episode 11 | 27m 45sVideo has Closed Captions
Decoy makers are both artists and biologists.
To hunters and guides, decoys, often crude, of wood and canvas were simply tools to attract birds. As fewer birds came to coastal waters the decoys got more elaborate, but still no one called them art. As we look at skills of decoy makers of the past, we now know they were both artists and biologists. By any standard they created “Art in the Wild.”
