Above: Call of the Wren (2024)
from ‘Ode to a Nightingale’:
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath
-- John Keats
With bird song at its heart, this project-in-progress explores different materials (clay, fabric, found materials, sound and projection) in order to play with the concept of ‘synaesthesia’ and metaphorical cross-connections. Population abundance statistics are repeated in different forms which reflect both raw data and the apparent limitations of art in the face of biodiversity loss.
