Side By Side

·  The Dawn Chorus  ·

When birds sing our spirit thrives.

Countless curious birds join together in a cacophony of beautiful sounds. Some sing for friendship, others for or to their love, and many for the simple joy of being with.

The many eyes that appear on the bodies of birds not only symbolise the importance for me of the visual world, but also an awareness and acceptance the many different kinds of birds have for one another. In common with listening to a dawn chorus, it is an artwork full of vibrant discovery.

The artwork, a visual image and its title, is completed by a poem available at Encyclopedia Utopia.

Encyclopedia Utopia is a publication that presents a perfect world, not as one without pain and sadness, but one where love is always present, and the intention to harm is absent. Utopia is envisioned as a place that remains full with struggle, but where the challenges of life are met with thoughtfulness, kindness, and compassion.
