My recent body of work entails images of birds some of which are endangered in our global natural landscape. These birds in peril range from the Red Knot, to the Spoon- billed Sandpiper, to the Scrub Jay.
我近期的创作主体再现了那些在我们地球自然界濒临灭绝的鸟类。这些面临灭绝的鸟类既有红腹滨鹬,也有勺嘴鹬,还有灌丛鸦。
The Red Knot, a species on the brink of dying out due to global climate change and industrial fishing of their food source of horseshoe crabs as bait notably by the Delaware Bay in the United States for pharmaceutical testing and human consumption of other shellfish. It is a similar situation for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper as a large population of them stop for migratory rest by the polluted and disappearing mudflats of the Yellow Sea. Diminished bird populations are partially due to industrial fishing of their main food source for human consumption. The migration of these bird species is also widely affected due to their food source not being of ample supply in their usual stop off locations. In the case of the Scrub Jay, a native bird of Florida, U.S. their endangered status is the fault of commercial and residential properties being built upon sites in Central Florida, the only place suitable with a specific ecosystem for their food and natural habitat.
红腹滨鹬这一物种由于全球气候变化和食物来源遭到工业捕鱼而濒临灭绝。它们主要的食物来源马蹄蟹,在美国德拉华湾正在被广泛用于药品检测和满足人类对其他贝类生物的消费需求。勺嘴鹬面临同样的境况,大量勺嘴鹬所迁徙休息的黄海泥滩正在受到污染并不断消失。鸟类群体灭绝的部分原因在于这些鸟类主要的食物来源为满足人类消费的需求而遭到大规模的工业捕捞。由于这些鸟类物种经常停靠的迁徙地食物供给缺乏的缘故,其迁徙也广受影响。以灌丛鸦为例,这一美国佛罗里达州的土著鸟类之所以受到威胁,是因为佛罗里达中部地区大量商业和居住建筑的兴建,而佛罗里达中部地区是唯一的一个有着适合灌丛鸦本身及其食物生存的生态环境。
I am hoping that by addressing these issues in this body of work I can raise awareness to their endangerment.
我希望能通过在作品中对这一问题的强调,唤起人们对这些鸟类威胁的注意。
These works consist of paper cutouts of birds whose images are carefully selected and scaled to their actual size. The cutouts are then laminated and strung with fish line and arranged in formations such as; a flock of birds in space, symbolic of their natural placement of birds in the sky. Their one sidedness and repetition is only a positive reminder of their presence while the blank sides is a representation of their absence in our natural world.
这些作品包含了有关鸟类的剪纸作品,作品形象经过精挑细选,尺寸与实际大小一致。这些剪纸作品经过压模,用钓鱼线穿起,采用不同的布局形式,例如太空中翱翔的一群鸟,象征着鸟类在天空中的自然栖息地。其一面性和重复性仅仅是鸟类存在的善意提醒,而空白边则代表了他们在自然世界的缺失。
