"Ornithurae" Olsen Gruin NY 2017

Leila Jeffreys striking portraits of the pigeons and doves of New Guinea and Australia form part of Leila Jeffreys’ first USA exhibition, Ornithurae Volume 1, at Olsen Gruin, New York, October - 12 November 2017. Opened by Brooke Shields.

Australian author and naturalist Tim Low writes in his essay Reconsider the Pigeon that “We should not take pigeons for granted. To pigeonhole them as urban scroungers does them an injustice. Australian photographer Leila Jeffreys has taken it on herself to show them as they truly are, as beings with the power to surprise.” Read Reconsider The Pigeon by Tim Low in full.
