About the Item
This painting features hues of green, yellow, pink and orange. These pieces are archival pigment prints mounted to panel. The images are macro scans of neutral water (Left) and alkaline water (Right) mixed with ink from: white oak acorns, buckvine + yaupon, wild blueberries, buckvine, and yaupon all found in Atlanta, Georgia. This piece is part of a recent show titled "love as large as grief demands."
Over the past 60 years, rivers in the eastern United States have become significantly more alkaline from road salt, fertilizer runoff, fracking brine, and other man- made contaminants. This shift disrupts freshwater ecosystems, threatening the delicate balance needed to sustain life. This installation uses pigments from native Georgia plants to make the invisible changes visible. The resulting color shifts illustrate how human activity is affecting our watersheds and all living beings that depend on them.
Heather ‘Bird’ Harris is an Atlanta-based artist and educator who prioritizes caretaking and connection. Her work explores the throughlines between history and ecological crises, engaging with communities, scientists, and site-specific materials to investigate land memory, systems of complicity, and possibilities for emergence. Her recent body of work, “love as large as grief demands,” transforms mapped industrial scars in Georgia and Louisiana into regenerative landscapes made with site-specific materials. Through shapes that can either build the future or jeopardize it— mycorrhizal webs, children’s drawing, coal and soil runoff, heliotropic growth —the works offer personal reflections on what hangs in the balance and what’s in our water, emphasizing the necessity of imagining possibility grounded in the physical histories of our landscapes.
Bird received her BS in art history from Skidmore College and master’s degree in education leadership from Columbia University. She has served as principal of a turnaround school in New Orleans and has consulted with school leaders across the South to implement equitable learning practices and anti-racist history education. Recent exhibitions include NADA Curates, the New Mexico State University Museum, SITE at the Goat Farm (Atlanta, GA), Art Fields (Lake City, SC), Stoveworks (Chattanooga, TN), the Barnes Ogden Gallery at Louisiana State University, and Science Gallery Atlanta. She has been an artist in residence at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies (Hudson Valley, NY), The Hambidge Center (Rabun Gap, GA), and was one of 7 artists selected for the Art & Social Justice Fellowship at Emory University in 2023. Current projects include Sonoran Heritage Waters with musicians and ecologists at Arizona State University and Hope Springs Eternal in collaboration with activist group RISE St. James and New Orleans-based artists. Bird is currently an MFA candidate at Georgia State University.
