CURATOR VOICE
Having two coyotes to arrange allowed us to strategically place them so that they appear to be interacting with one another, an installation method Murrill herself enjoys employing. Placed on a plinth overlooking the National Elk Refuge, these bronze canines not only interact with each other, they directly reference the live coyotes that can be seen each winter just across the highway.
