Blackbird

Blackbird is the second in a series of monochrome murals dedicated to the many beautiful black birds around the world that are now endangered as a result of human induced climate change and habitat fragmentation. Blackbird is constructed in 12 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 an excerpt from Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent Spring’ which spurred the international environmental movement and inspired me to become an environmental artist.

Medium: Screen printing on recycled plastic bags, sewing, cutting, wrapping
Size: 65 X 128 X 2″” Date: 2024
