"At the Heart" by Rachel Favelle
Size: 8.6 x 3.3 x 3.3 inches
Medium: Ceramic Stoneware Wallhanging
The Helmeted Honeyeater, the bird emblem for the state of Victoria, Australia, is critically endangered. Following European settlement, the majority of the bird’s natural habitat was demolished; the shrub layer in which they nest was largely removed, many canopy trees in which they forage were cleared and swamps were drained for agriculture. The species contracted to just one population of 50 birds at Yellingbo, Victoria, but today has grown to 200. This sculpted bird morphed with foliage reveals an incision to the chest, suggesting a vulnerability. The tied ribbon, a decorative element, alludes to binding and control of humans.
