an Army of birds

an Army of birds

Installation, Political / Social, Various materials, 200x35x200cm
A collection of 93 birds made from used bed sheets and filled with mattress stuffing.

My work addresses a notion of feminine conflict through the materials and techniques I use. Working this way aims to suggest a sense security, nurturing and comfort on one level while simultaneously showing the tension and flaws.

i like the work very much, there is a certain fragility and delicateness about them, well done and good luck.
