Fleur Schell: Making Room for the Wildlife, 2021
This three-dimensional porcelain wall map represents the suburbs around my home, including its natural and man-made spaces. It explores the tenuous relationship between humans and the critters opportunistically living among us. When I sit quietly in my back yard, this is what I hear the wild say. “We were here before you and left … so leave the gate open, don’t mend the hole in the fence and teach your dog to be kind. We crave sanctuary; we will come back, we will all come back… especially if the garden tap occasionally drips.”
