Artist Makes Sculpture Out of Keys From Destroyed Homes
藝術(shù)家用燒毀的房屋鑰匙打造雕塑藝術(shù)品
Last year, the town of Paradise, California was devastated by an enormous wildfire. The fire wiped out over 8,000 of the town's homes. Since then, art therapist Jessie Mercer has been collecting the keys to these destroyed buildings to create a sculpture that would be meaningful to former residents of Paradise. Mercer received packages in the mail containing keys to homes, schools, churches, shops, and businesses that burned down in 2018. The sculpture is an 800-pound phoenix, made of over 14,000 of these keys. The phoenix was donated to a community support centre for survivors of the fire. In recognition of her work for the community, Mercer was awarded a key to the town.
去年,加利福尼亞州的天堂鎮(zhèn)被一場巨大的野火吞噬。大火燒毀了該鎮(zhèn)8000多所房屋。從那以后,藝術(shù)治療師杰西·默瑟一直在收集這些被燒毀建筑的鑰匙來創(chuàng)造一個雕塑藝術(shù)品,這對天堂鎮(zhèn)的前居民或許很有意義。默瑟在郵箱中收到包裹,里面裝有2018年燒毀的房屋、學校、教堂、商店和工廠的鑰匙。這座雕塑是一只800磅重的“鳳凰”,由超過1.4萬顆這樣的鑰匙制成。“鳳凰”雕塑被捐贈給火災(zāi)幸存者社區(qū)支持中心。為了表彰她為社區(qū)所做的工作,默瑟獲得了通往小鎮(zhèn)的鑰匙。
