an Army of birds (Denise Hickey) - Finalist: Installation / Sculpture Celeste Prize 2010 Installation Political / Social Various materials (Denise Hickey - London United Kingdom)
A collection of 93 birds made from used bed sheets and filled with mattress stuffing.
My work addresses a notion of feminine conflict through the materials and techniques I use. Working this way aims to suggest a sense security, nurturing and comfort on one level while simultaneously showing the tension and flaws.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Melissa- Annette Messenger is in my top 5 favorites! i really like her work. The story behind the dead sparrows is beautiful and melancholy- she stepped on a killed a sparrow once when she was a child...
