In the Trees - Justine & Angus

So here is a little movie to give you an idea of what the birds might look like in a tree, at night, with a sample of some bird calls.

The images are not fantastic, but hopefully it shows what the project looks like in an environment closer to its final home.

While we have created more, there are 2 birds featured in this video.

Their sizes range from about 17 inches long to 8 inches.

Bigger birds look like albatrosses or pelicans, which seem a bit ridiculous, so we stuck to these sizes.

The birds are made from :

discarded plastic, bubble wrap, paint, ink, wire, staples. thread, paper (newspaper, magazine, collected photocopies)

We imagine them to be placed around 8 to 16ft up in the trees, unless we can get higher.

At this distance from the ground, details get lost.  The glow of the light and the gesture of the marks and materials becomes most interesting.
