'What It's Like To Be a Bird' Exhibition at the Scottish Orinithologist's Club HQ!

As you might expect from the name, the core of this exhibition has been inspired by my work with Tim Birkhead on the book 'What It's Like To Be a Bird'. 

Some of the paintings are the original illustrations from the book, while others have come from my newfound fascination with the spellbinding world of birds. When I am working on a book, I like to make large paintings of the subjects or characters in the story, because working exclusively within the size of a page can feel restrictive. Knowing that this exhibition was in the diary opened the possibility that each page might exist outside of the book, extending into the exhibition space!

I really hope some of you can make it to East Lothian!
