Feathers and Earth Residencies.
Concerned with degradation of our natural world, this project explores cycles of decay, destruction and rebirth (birds) while looking at what lasts beyond the annihilation of climate-change (earth).
Using photography and video to document the process, artists Penelope Bartlau and Jason Lehane are developing locative installations at/for/with various sites.
In 2022, we attended international residencies at Cill Rialaig Arts Centre in Ballinskelligs, Ireland, The Museum of Loss and Renewal, Collemacchia, Italy, and at La Macina di San Cresci, Chianti, Italy.

Feathers and Earth is a three-year investigation into the geographic features and bird life of three diverse sites. The sites are connected by an abundance of significant birdlife and unique geographic terrain.
