The series marks a change in Gerstberger’s use of color, moving toward silver, grey, blue, and black tones, and introduces a new technique involving sand, industrial paint, and oil paint to create a rough, heavy surface resembling stone or concrete.

Gerstberger creates paintings that function as fragments of a larger mural, using a new technique involving sand, industrial paint, and oil paint to create a rough, heavy surface resembling stone or concrete. The series explores themes of gathering, exposure, and transformation through the image of vultures.
