‘A Bird to overhear’ reviewed by journalist Lee Lawrence

Date : February 15, 2022

We–me & Copy Press UK–are honored that Lee Lawrence reviewed ‘A Bird to overhear’ on her blog, Art Alert.

“In this 25-minute video — https://vimeo.com/666753146 — artist Brece Honeycutt draws us into her journey of wonder at the world around us — and of woe for the lack of regard with which we treat it. “A Bird to Overhear” is an essay filled with Honeycutt’s own keen-eyed observations interspersed with lessons gleaned from scientists, poets, painters and, above all else, nature. We hear birds at the start of the video then, against a backdrop of silence, Honeycutt’s voice asks: “Are we listening? Are you listening? When did I start listening?”

‘A Bird to overhear’ – new collaboration with Copy Press UK

Date : February 7, 2022

Thrilled to announce the launch of my work with Copy Press UK for their ‘Becoming Fireflies series.’  

Our collaborative work may be viewed here:  A Bird to overhear–


 

Audio-visual images:  history, landscape, birds. Bird song marks not only the change of season, but indicates ecological shifts in landscape and climate, as noted in the crucial observations gleaned by naturalists Rachel Carson (1907-1964) and Florence Merriam Bailey (1863-1948).  Daily note taking brings an awareness to the world right outside one’s doorstep, gathering the nearby into community.  Knowing and naming are firsts steps, in making aware.

What does Emily Dickinson mean to me?

Date : May 15, 2021

Today seems fitting to highlight a project launched by the Emily Dickinson Museum, for May 15th marks the day Emily Dickinson was “Called Back”.  

“My Emily Dickinson: at the Emily Dickinson Museum a Video Gallery and Story Collection Project

In honor of Emily Dickinson’s 190th birthday in December of 2020, the Museum collected your stories from around the world. So many of us feel a deep connection to Dickinson’s life, her poetry, or to both. Some of us read her work as young students in school and become curious about the woman who lowered gingerbread from her window; others of us do not find Dickinson until we are older and her poetry’s themes of loss and hope begin to resonate profoundly; still others find that Dickinson’s wit and fierce individuality is a touchstone. This project sought to document the many Emily Dickinsons that exist in the hearts of contemporary readers. We received fifty participant videos from as close as Amherst to as far away as Albania. 

This video gallery offers a range of perspectives on Dickinson from a diverse group of her readers who generously shared their stories of strange Dickinson encounters, first meetings, and deeply felt connection. We are very grateful to these story-tellers and we hope you enjoy their collective message of Dickinson’s enduring relevance in our lives today.”

“When they come back–if Blossoms do–“

Date : April 22, 2021

Very honored to re-install, “When they come back–if Blossoms do–” at Wave Hill for the 2021 Art & Nature Entwined Gala honoring Jennifer McGregor. The work will be on view during the Gala and for the weekend of May 21-23, 2021. [Please note advance reservations are required, info at WaveHill.org]

Wave Hill notes, “For more than two decades, Jennifer curated indoor and outdoor exhibitions, immersive theater performances and experimental dance and music. She also served as a mentor and advocate for artists by launching the Winter Workspace Artist Residency and Sunroom Project series, two important artist-incubator programs. By providing opportunities for both artists and audiences to discover and engage with the natural world, Jennifer set Wave Hill apart from museums and gardens across the country.”

“When they come back-if Blossoms do-” was and is a collaboration with the interpretive gardeners at Wave Hill.  In 2007, I worked closely with Charles Day and in 2021, Jess Brey is my collaborator.  This type of a project–collaborations between interpretive gardeners and artists–exemplifies the thoughtful work done by Jennifer McGregor at Wave Hill.

“When they come back–if Blossoms do–“ a series of copper plant labels linking plants grown and written about by Emily Dickinson with the same plants growing at Wave Hill. Originally installed in 2007 in the exhibition ‘Emily Dickinson Rendered.’ This project was a collaboration with WH’s Horticultural Interpreter, Charles Day. [Image by Benjamin Swett].
