ROOK-A-RESTING
1999
This piece is available for purchase.
… an arresting point of view …
This bird pays homage to a family of rooks I once knew. I cannot say they knew me, but we were close neighbours … I suppose that makes me a kind of ‘curtain twitcher’ …
Their lives seem to be full of familiar and familial events: The gentle squabbly, affectionate beginning and end to each day; the organisation of the day’s work and hurried mass departure; the homecoming each evening followed by excited chatter and competitive sniping …
This rook is seen here resting, taking stock, and warming its wings. It is of course modelled from death, not life.
