For my site specific I really want to focus on the dying bird population around the wind turbines. I went to school for a while for wind technology and one of the worst problems environmentally was the effect that they have on birds and bats. Around 140,000 to 328,000 birds and bats are killed a year just because of their migration patterns into these turbine blades. Although this was a known problem there really isn't much done about it. I want to bring awareness to the fact that its happening. I would make the dead birds, probably out of wax, and take a mold of it. I want to do as many as I can in just plaster. I want to keep them white because it matches the turbine color and follows the irony that they cant see the blades or are literally sucked into the blade while its moving. I think it would be easier and get the point across more with just dead birds. the bat population also hurts but it might confuse the audience. I think the photos of this will be the important part. Itll be hard to get the actual wind turbines and birds in scale to them but since most sites you have to have permission I think distance shots will help. Ill also be in contact with my old professor to see if I cant arrange to go on a site to take picture.
