About the Item
This is a one-of-a-kind monoprint on archival paper from Deirdre Murphy's "Nest Alchemy" series, which explores the connection between neuron dendritic structures and songbird cup nests. The research was done at Lehigh University’s neuroscience department in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Swann PhD funded by a Humanities Lab grant. Nest Alchemy also reflects on the effects of climate change on the breeding and brooding seasons of migratory birds. This body of work has been shown at Winterthur Museum (Kennett Square, DE), Penn State University’s HUB Robeson Gallery, James Madison University’s Duke Hall Art Gallery and 3 Dots Downtown Gallery in State College, PA.
It is signed, titled, and dated on the back. Works particularly well in a series of works, each listed separately on 1stDibs.
"As an artist, my paintings, prints, sculpture and public art are made with the attentiveness of a scientist, observing our natural world beyond the visible surface. My interest lies in the interconnected qualities of art and science, specifically the micro / macro patterns that reveal our connectedness; be it migratory avian flight patterns shared commonality with immigration routes, or how light pollution maps mirror viral molecular patterns, or aerial views of watershed systems that reveal vascular patterns. Through the act of creating, I am aware of being both infinitesimally minute and integrally part of a larger whole. It is this dichotomy and the vastness of these images that provides perspective to our humanity."
