Jean Shin, adjunct professor – CCE of fine arts, was
featured on WBUR for her project
Perch, a sculptural installation composed of repurposed wood, located at Appleton Farms in Ipswich. The sculptures provide a resting place for bobolinks, songbirds that rely on Appleton Farms as a refuge during their annual migration. “Their populations are really dependent on farmers and their hay fields, their pastures — and grasslands are declining all over the world,” Shin told WBUR. “So, it just seemed like the most beautiful story for us to understand more deeply and really appreciate their contribution to the landscape.”
