Aude Bourgine的刺绣珊瑚雕塑

法国视觉艺术家Aude Bourgine利用纺织品、珠子和亮片，为名为“海洋之肺”(Poumons des oceans)的系列作品捕捉到了珊瑚美丽和脆弱之处，这些作品被译为“海洋之肺”。它们被装在玻璃钟形罐子里，既能作为神奇的物品被孤立起来，又能免受人类双手的伤害。“如果我们不迅速改变与环境的关系，到2050年海洋将会消亡，”这位艺术家在她网站上的一份声明中说

French visual artist Aude Bourgine’s work is informed by her love of the environment and a sense of guilt for what humanity has done to the natural world. Using textiles, beads, and sequins, the artist creates displays that capture the beauty and fragility of coral for a series called “Poumons des océans,” which translates to “Lungs of the Oceans.”Bourgine’s sculptures mimic the unique shapes, intricate textures, and vivid colors of living coral. Encased in glass bell jars, they are simultaneously isolated as objects of wonder, and also protected from harm caused by the hands of humans. “If we do not rapidly change our relationship with our environment, oceans will be dead by 2050,the artist said in a statement on her website. “Their disappearance will entail a disastrous imbalance on all ecological, climate and human levels…We must take heed for this universal cause, which concerns each and every one of us.”Bourgine has an upcoming solo exhibition at the Saint Julien Chapel in Le Petit-Quevilly in northern France from June 7 through 30, 2019.
