“Why Bird? Wings to effortless historical consciousness”
Essay by curator Luchia Meihua Lee,
2020
“Haviland, in her recurrent use of metal mesh as a material, employs the net, which of course is a contrivance to trap birds. Yet in Haviland’s art, metal mesh is porous and airy, and thus has a degree of lightness and effortlessness. Hence, the inorganic participates in implied natural flight, and points indirectly towards human flight. Haviland’s birds carry a different character; she captures the emotional effect of transforming sumptuous feather and ornament to simplicity of form. At the same time, the complexity of her art displays the nuances of the translucent web and the air within. Her longing has landed on the grass lawn and turned into an owl perched in a tree and holding a globe….”
