About this artwork
It is believed that murmurations are a defensive behaviour to confuse predators. As your eyes struggle to make sense of the shape-shifting display it becomes nearly impossible to pick out individual birds. In groups sometimes numbering tens of thousands, the birds move as one, coursing through the air at breakneck speeds and turning on an instant. Synchronised and mesmerising, it seems almost choreographed.
My new piece, Murmurations, contains some… 3,300 individual starlings, capturing a moment in time that we would not normally be able to appreciate with the naked eye.
The work was created by first sourcing a number of images of starlings in flight, and studying their shapes on the wing. Each individual bird was then printed in greyscale to a metallic finish card. A sense of movement is maintained by the materials and the construction of the piece. Mounted with pins at varying heights off the canvas gives the piece a depth of field, the reflective surface playing with light.
