'Les Oiseaux Perdus (The Lost Birds)' is from a series of paintings that documents my response to the devastating impact of human beings on the natural world. The image evolved on hearing the news that a third of birds have disappeared in Europe in the last 15 years. The delicate cloth is made up of 80 painted bird skulls, with desirable scattered fruit laid across it. The flowers wilt as the bees succumb to an invisible adversary, all so that we can consume what we desire. I wanted the work to look at once contemporary, and yet timeless. I was inspired to re-imagine classical 'nature morte' paintings, from the point of view of the natural world. I wanted to give a voice to other species, to heighten awareness of their plight. I hoped to juxtapose beauty with the harsh realities of human consumption; entice the viewer in to look closer, to examine, to comprehend, to be moved, and to reflect on their own consumerist choices. The painting, which is on wood mounted board is a combination of drawing and painting, using acrylics, aquacryl and aquarelle pencil, to enhance the delicacy of the work, and emphasise the vulnerability represented. The sepia layer was added to give an aged/ageless feel, and pull together the lit centre with the enveloping darkness slowly encroaching.
