  • Notes

    The work depicts a European robin (Erithacus rubecula) perched upon a branch of a crabapple tree.
    " ... made from painted and embroidered fabric, wrapped wire, glass (eyes) and wood (beak). It is part of an ongoing series of birds that I have been making since 2007 which were inspired by an interest in taxidermy as well as both American and British folk art traditions."--Correspondence from the artist, February 10, 2016.
