Bye Bye Birdies — The Birds
Art Director: Danielle Kunkel
Year: 2019–2022
Size: True to bird species
Type: Scientific illustration | Data visualization | Research
Media: Lasercut, painted, and embroidered, wood
Close-up scans of the ~95 birds featured in my immersive graph installation series, Bye Bye Birdies. Each bird is made true to size of their species and are placed on a wall to depict their level of vulnerability with climate change. None of the birds are flying or have feet since they do not have control of their fate; only we do.
Close-ups of the larger birds coming soon!
