Redwing is a mural-size piece
named for the many beautiful red birds around the world that are now endangered
as a result of human-induced climate change and habitat fragmentation. Redwing
is constructed in 16 sections that zipper together in order to facilitate
shipping. All the feathers are created by hand screen printing on recycled
plastic, using images of endangered birds and text in endangered languages
including excerpts of Rachel Carson's ‘Silent Spring’ which inspired me to
become an environmental artist. Redwing is currently on a 3-year loan to the US
Embassy in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan through the Art in Embassy Program of the US
State Department.
