Description
With a shout of pure presence, “Small Wonders: Redwinged BlackBIRD” by Laureen Marchand says, “Look at me! I’m the brightest smartest noisiest bird in the hemisphere!” Attention-seeking male red-winged blackbirds have scarlet and yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide, depending on how confident they feel. Their early and trilling songs are happy indications of the return of spring. And with this confidence and humour, Laureen Marchand offers us a chance to hold in our hands inspiration for nature-based solutions to the climate crisis. Her miniature bird paintings are ecological art meant to spark joy and bring a smile to your face. They provide a period of peace.
Laureen Marchand says, “Climate change can feel so overwhelming, I wanted to offer something smaller. Something that people can hold and take in, and maybe realize that doing one small thing for one small bird might be what makes the difference to what we all see happening.”
