Longtailed Tit on a C on Oak OvalRecycled Cutlery £290 |
The Artist - Ed Hill SWS
The second-hand cutlery is collected locally and repurposed in my workshop in the South Hams. I prefer stainless because it radiates light on a dull day or it can bring light to a dark or otherwise uninteresting part of a garden. I am currently working my way through a series of iconic birds, ones that are instantly recognisable that we can all appreciate. One I have chosen to focus on this year is the long-tailed tit. Like a ‘caricature artist’ I want to identify the main features. As I don’t work in colour the shape is really important and there are lots of fun details to capture in the long-tailed tit. Being a particularly sociable bird, I have begun to explore different ways I can group them.
