The Quarantine of the Ostentatious - BBlessing

The Quarantine of the Ostentatious

The installation of funerary birdhouses investigates the full spectrum of the life cycle of a species. The empty, blackened vessels represent the final stage of the cycle, where a once decadent and ostentatious display has turned sour. The implied narrative, derived from the relics of the process, suggests the presence of plague, the shrouding and mourning of death, quarantine, and the evocative ambiance of absence.

The installation was created and developed by artist/designer Daniel Jackson for BBlessing, and will continue through September.
