Deborah Kruger has done a series of pieces based on the map of Cambodia, which is the last remaining habitat of the elegant and nearly extinct Bengal Florican. Harbinger is the first piece in the series and is distinguished by flecks of red throughout the piece. All the feathers are silk-screened on recycled plastic bags and if you look closely, you will see images of endangered birds and endangered languages.
Medium: Screen printing on recycled plastic bags, sewing
Size: 42 x 53 x 1″ Date: 2018

I feel privileged to have my piece Harbinger included in the climate-themed show opening at the inaugural exhibition at the new Dr. Bernard Heller Museum located at Hebrew Union College Museum near NYU in New York City.
