The image shows a portion of artist Jacqueline Bishop's mixed media installation Terra. From Style Weekly (December 26, 2000): "...the most poignant, provocative and sensory enriched installation award should go to "Terra" by Jacqueline Bishop at the Anderson Gallery (Richmond, VA). It transcended the norm of installation art, which can occasionally occupy more space than it has an argument for. "Terra" built on a dawning awareness that developed as the view moved through the series of intimate little portraits of endangered birds. This experience was stalked out further by Chris Becker's haunting musical composition."

September 22, 2000 The review describes Becker's music for artist Jacqueline Bishop's mixed media installation Terra. ". . .Bishop has been flying into the Amazon River port Manaus twice a year for 10 years. There she boards a small boat to sail upriver with a captain and sometimes a cook. A large tent pitched on the riverbank becomes her studio and her home." "She's been working on 'Terra' for 13 years. It consists of 350 'portraits' of birds. The 3-inch-square paintings are arranged into grids on wall that join at right angles. Some of the birds are extinct. The portraits are framed, some with natural substances, other with industrial detritus. . ." "...The effect of Terra is eerie, partly because the installation is accompanied by a soundscape by New York composer Chris Becker. The sound scape is based on African and Brazilian percussion..'I want drums to go into people's souls,' Bishop said. 'Chris has never been to the Amazon forest. I told him to think of flight. He thought of birds, but he also thought of that other bird, the airplane. . . the sounds (on the soundscape) are similar to things I hear when I wake up at 4 in the morning in my tent. . .' The combination of natural sounds and mechancial sounds is haunting. . ." Sample and purchase 200 Birds Back to Beckeresque
