Collage and acrylic on board 50x40cm
I find birds and how we use their meaning quite interesting. They were seen are portends or a means of reading the future. Then certain birds are taken as symbols of a culture: the eagle was used as a military symbol to the Romans, Napoleon, the Nazis and the USA. Australia has an emu (a flightless bird) on their coat of arms. Certain birds such as the dove signify hope and peace. A raven is seen as bad luck or an ill omen. I am not sure what the birds are in this work or what they symbolise but they are certainly having sqawrk!
