Carved wooden sculpture of two huia birds, Aotearoa New Zealand's most famous extinct bird. Birds can be rotated/repositioned. The following are excerpts Clovis has chosen from an essay by Cameron Boyle: As individuals, we must understand 'the multiple connections and dependencies between ourselves and these disappearing others’, ‘all of the ways in which we are at stake with each other, all the ways in which we share a world.’ Therefore, at this moment, there is an urgent need to critically engage with these loses, to respond appropriately in a range of different ways to extinction.
