On the exhibition, Angell states:
Company is essential to life. Not simply human to human. Over time I’ve become increasingly aware that either directly or indirectly our species is linked with an irreplaceable complexity of plants, animals and habitats that compose our home. Within this network, there are life sustaining connections between the species, and even habitat, some of which I celebrate here in sculptural form.
These connections have been fashioned by the powers of evolution and time. Herein is an assemblage of work conceived and developed from witnessing moments largely just outside my studio doors amid the woodlands, along streams and at the edge of the tides and throughout the seasons that each bring forward their own subtle, yet unique moments.

When young falcons leave their eyries, they will often keep company for a brief period. I have had the opportunity to watch kestrels, merlins and peregrine's closely as they remain near their nests. Here a pair of young merlins, beginning explorations of our neighborhood, and the adjoining territories, are still within reach of their parents who will occasionally feed them as they develop their own hunting skills. They are birds of passage, into their first year of life and onto the adventures of adulthood. — Tony Angell on Birds of Passage

| Tony Angell, Surf's Edge, 1/1, bronze on marble, 12.5 x 10.75 x 11 inches |
In winter, along the outer edges of the sand spit that borders Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island, pairs and small assemblies of plovers fly. With velocity they move and turn with what seems to be instantaneous precision. One can only imagine the remarkable means of communication between them. Landing on the sands at the outer edges of a receding wave, with stout bodies and short legs they scurry over the surfaces probing for marine invertebrates. — Tony Angell on Surf's Edge
