Holownia says he drew from an ongoing body of work for the show. \u201cThere\u2019s actually very, very new work that\u2019s come out of my relationship and memories of Gay, and the collection that she put together,\u201d says Holownia, referring to Hansen\u2019s many contributions to the Gay Hansen Ornithology Lab at Mount Allison University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
