The City Cleaner

by Dieuconsole

$65

It's easy to look at the Marabou Stork and see an ugly bird. But look again. This is one of the city's quiet cleaners. It feeds on what others leave behind, dead animals, scraps, things no longer wanted, its powerful digestive system breaking down remains most creatures would avoid. While we look away, the Marabou is cleaning up. Perhaps that's what makes it so interesting: not everything valuable looks beautiful. Sometimes the things we overlook are doing the work we never notice. This artwork is part of the Uganda Postage Paintings series.
