Description

I made this stoneware sculpture during an art demonstration at The Kitty Harri Sculpture Garden. I was surrounded by visitors and artists of many different nationalities, all working alongside each other, dotted around the gardens. I feel that the piece has taken on the elements from the different cultures present and incorporated them into itself. The middle eastern slipper, the dutch clog, a viking boat, there’s even a whiff of a genies lamp – all tied together in the form of a bird. The title Migration is a response to that beautiful mixed pocket of international tones the piece reflects, also to the fact that birds have no geographical borders and can fly where they like.
