Audubon in the Anthropocene: Works by Matthew Day Jackson
In Jackson’s imagined death of the sun, the familiar crimson feathers of the northern cardinal have been rendered in more subdued, warm tones as two of the birds bask in the intense light and heat of the sun as it becomes a red giant near the end of its lifecycle as a star. The cardinal is a territorial bird, and Jackson perhaps implies that these creatures will put up a good fight against a catastrophic event that is several billion years away.
