    Scarecrows by Kate Fichard

    “I noticed some time ago that scarecrows no longer exist in the fields and vegetable gardens in France. This is largely because pesticides and protection nets have completely replaced them. Sensitive to environmental concerns and ecology, I conceived a project to restore these forgotten field sculptures. With the help of Hugo Deniau, a visual artist, my idea was to offer the birds of our region both the nicest and most frightening way to meet scarecrows again. The word “scarecrows” is derived from the verb “scare”—these figures are supposed to inspire fear in the animals that land on the fields and eat the seeds before the plants have grown. Indeed, the…

    Delicate Dependencies by Crystal Morey

    “Humankind has become the driving influence and force behind natural evolution, with the ability to alter life from a single cell all the way up to entire ecosystems. Through these actions we are leaving vulnerable species and habitats frantic, facing disruptions and uncertain outcomes. In my work I explore these actions while also creating an evocative and mysterious narrative that shows our interdependence with the land and animals around us. Delicate Dependencies is an exploration of these ideas shown through plants and animals native to the western United States. These creatures exist in habitats stressed or impacted by human activity, leading them to an unclear future. They inhabit a space…
