Backyard Bash: Conference of the Birds
Cascading down the slope of Marvin Grove, McCue’s shock of shiny red fabric contrasts with its natural surroundings and weaves between the poles signifying how birds today have adapted to knitting together a dismaying mix of natural and human-made material. It conjures, as McCue states, “the iconic image of a bird flying with a piece of red ribbon in its beak….while simultaneously symbolizing the ‘cut’ or wound that humans have made in their natural environment.”
