Flight Stop

 * ... that each of the sixty geese in Michael Snow's Flight Stop (pictured) is wearing a goose costume made from photographs of a dead Canada goose culled from Toronto Island? Source text: "Flight Stop appears to be a straightforward representation of sixty geese, but the work is a combination of fibreglass forms and photographs of a single goose, 'one of two culled from a flock living on Toronto Island.' Photographing the dead bird, Snow adjusted 'the neck, wing, and tail positions and the cylindrical parts of the body. Three different body sizes were then carved in Styrofoam and, using pattern-making techniques, two-dimensional photographic goose costumes were printed and assembled.'" Martha Langford. Michael Snow: Life & Work. Toronto: Art Canada Institute, 2004.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article expanded from redirect within last seven days. Long enough & prose reads as neutral. Checks out via Earwig's. Photo is used in article and valid for use. Hook is cited and interesting, so I'd say it's good to go! Nice work, ! = paul2520 (talk) 03:17, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but at least one citation is needed in the second paragraph under "Legal issues" per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 23:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note -- I've reworded the last sentence of that paragraph to better reflect what an available source actually states and added the citation.  freshacconci  (✉) 01:28, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
