Here, in the river-polished Dordogne, as the last ice-sheets started to retreat northwards from the Pyrenees in a cave which is painted with gentle-faced horses and long files of mammoths, a woman, it seems, with a baby on her hip trailed her fingers down through the soft, white substance extruded by limestone cave-walls and the child copied her.

Donegal, Ireland and now lives in Galway. Her most recent collection is Hands Carcanet, Manchester, November Many of her poems reflect preoccupations with archaeology, with music, with language itself and with the history of migration—the migration of birds, of humans, of human culture.

She has held numerous residencies and, in , was editor of Poetry Ireland Review. Around the same time, several hundred grackles, redwing blackbirds, robins, and starlings dropped dead in Murray, Kentucky. A few days later, dead blackbirds, brown-headed cowbirds, grackles, and starlings were found on a highway in Pointe Coupee, Louisiana, while dead American coots appeared on a bridge in Big Cypress Creek, Texas. And then, on January 5, some 8, dead turtledoves rained down on the town of Faenza in Italy. It all seems a little apocalyptic. The warnings are everywhere, if only we would choose to see and heed them.

Cultural Studies, according to Magda Lewis, is itself a methodology. I am beginning to enact a blending of these spheres as my art and research projects demand work not only in the office and studio, but also in the grocery store, kitchen, and in social spaces. In addition to drawings and sculptures of wings and broken birds, I made a mobile- or cloud-like hanging piece entitled Augury: Elegy—and it is made of bird bones. The Spirit of Art as Activism. Bay Press, , It turns out that they regularly throw significant numbers of chicken bones into the trash after they have removed most of the flesh to make sandwiches.

I asked them if they would set the bones aside for me, and they happily agreed to do so. This was great news for my bone collection, but it presented an awkward situation—when I picked up my first batch of bones, they were still covered in flesh and skin. My environmental and personal ethics mean that I avoid eating animals or their by-products, particularly when their lives were lived in factory farms.

The benefits of this were twofold: I got my clean bones, and several of my friends and neighbours got delicious, home-cooked soup about 45 bowls in total. As I painstakingly—almost surgically—pulled the soft, cool flesh from the bones, simultaneously feeling revolted, fascinated, and numbed by the repetitiveness of the task or maintenance activity, as Ukeles would term it , I realized that cooking, artmaking, and theorizing had become indistinguishable. Elegy is made from branches from my backyard and crochet thread inherited from a great-great-aunt. I believe that the current ecological crisis will augur an elegy a poem of lamentation or a death song unless we act quickly, compassionately, and courageously to protect our only home.

It is my hope that the potentially uncomfortable, even abhorrent, encounter with the bones and severed wings in my work will force a visceral confrontation with this metaphor for potentially catastrophic climate change, and will remind viewers of the fact that we are all implicated in it. Because we must not simply remember, we must act. While my work has a strong melancholic, elegiac tone, it is my ultimate hope to create works that impel viewers to consider the actively hopeful ethical imperatives of ecological mourning— and to continually make choices that reflect that consideration.

Her work focuses on forging links between visual art, elegy, ecology, ethics, and sustainability. Recent exhibitions include In Power: Images in order of appearance: So, when I close my eyes to sleep, I start to fall, through and out of all I know, only to land with a bump suddenly back in myself again, all there with all there is, for where could there be to fall to beyond the limit of skin, limit of day? When the senses shut, when their door closes behind you, where will you go? Little breath, with no one to take you in, what will you be?

You who sneered at appearances, who said you saw through things, what will you do without them?
