mixed-media installation, dimensions variable, 2024

FOR THE BIRDS

The installation investigates role of sound in urban landscapes. The process of listening is a subjective experience. Sounds of the city are piercing or pleasant while moments of silence can be soothing or perhaps, superficial. Huss’ kinetic installation, FOR THE BIRDS investigates fluctuating the relationship between humans and wildlife. Twigs intertwined with man-made materials in the form of wires, holographic discs and bells, often used to deter birds from nesting on architecture, are suspended from the ceiling. Hypnotic reflections of light and melodic sounds are radiated as the installation spins in circles. The title, FOR THE BIRDS is a phrase that is defined in two ways. It is a choice to either ignore or recognize the impact that humans have on nature. As urban environments engulf natural habitats, wildlife will continue to disappear.
