THE DAWN CHORUS

THE DAWN CHORUS

Louise Dentice

Opening Thurs 15th April, 6pm

 

The Dawn Chorus is a personal exploration of the relationship humans have with birds. Spanning thousands of years, birds have been simultaneously revered, sacrificed, hunted for pleasure and food and kept as caged pets.

The viewer is confronted by wall mounted ceramic bird’s heads that echo hunter’s trophies, staring ominously from all corners of the room. Other birds, tethered to their ceramic plinths, perch like taxidermied museum pieces forever fated to imitate life, never to live it.
