From the field to the workshop
For a week, the artist observed the daily gestures and actions of the caregivers (feeding, checking the health of the birds, releasing them, cleaning, etc.). Sketches taken from life and interviews with volunteers made it possible to create the works in the workshop as well as a drawn report to be found here .
Funding conservation through Art
The works are on sale to raise funds for the association. 50% of the amount of each work is donated to the association for the purchase of equipment and financing of bird operations. The sale of all the works will donate €15,000 to the Lanna Bird association.
Drawing for the living
Are you a research laboratory or an association? Do you want to finance an art conservation project?
Raise funds by hosting me in an artistic-scientific residency. The works created during the residency will be sold in galleries in France or Asia for the benefit of your association.
