Birds on plinths of time is concerned with the western traditional concepts of Natural History illustrations of our past from circa 1500 and giving them a recalled place in history.
This work in particular holds a 19th-century ornithology study of a bird.
By placing this bird on a plinth the aim is to represent the past, of the documentation of our native world and placing it on a pedestal, shelf or in this case a plinth to remember them by.
Birds are disappearing from our environment at a great rate and my hope is to bring an awareness of this by placing the ancient study on a plinth, allowing the viewer to see how unique our birds and documented past is!
