Happy birthday to Squeak Carnwath, who was born on this day in 1947! “When I’m in a plane,” said Squeak Carnwath, “I often think about things that fly naturally. This work is about those things—bees, flags, snow, bugs, mercury, rain, and flights of fancy.” Much of Carnwath’s work is about her own thoughts, reactions, and memories. See “Fly, Flight, Fugit” by Squeak Carnwath on display, post-security in the International Terminal and online at: https://bit.ly/3P920nn
