Swift as a Shadow

Editorial Reviews
Village Voice Editors' Choice
"Purcell, ever seeking oddness, turns her lens upon the Blue Antelope, the Pig-Footed Bandicoot, and other extinct and endangered animals preserved in the Natural History Museum of the Netherlands. Her photographs capture their haunting beauty and intense, glassy-eyed stares. Museum curators provide brief histories of each species' demise."

Star Tribune
"Purcell captures brilliantly the plumage of some creatures that will never take flight again."
