– WORDBIRDS –
We give old texts new life
Beautiful figments of the imagination
My WORDBIRDS are an eclectic range of discarded texts which are turned into creatures of the imagination. Sometimes old texts create a new world where curious creatures inhabit the pages of forgotten books. Sometimes they shape themselves on fresh sheets to become new creatures in entirely new worlds.
Art Prints and blank Greeting Cards of selected existing Wordbirds can be ordered.
But for special occasions I take orders for unique birds and creatures that can give special significance to mementos. For example, a special piece might be:
a creature, made from the notes of a piece of music that has personal echoes, inhabiting the staves of a particularly meaningful music score
a creature made from the lines of a much-loved poem, resting among the lines of that poem
Cape Sugarbird
Styled on the bird endemic to the Cape Fynbos region in South Africa
Moonlight Sonata
A special pair of birds made from a second copy of the sheet music on which they rest.
Groundscraper Thrush
Styled on the thrush that lives in the Cape Fynbos region in South Africa
Fiction Bird 3
A creature of the imagination
