Them And Us - Richard William Wheater

Them And Us

Installation, Glass, Light, 00 x 00 x 00 cm, 2008
We travelled all over the place; forests, oceans, country estates, beaches and power stations, with a very heavy furnace, used to blow glass birds which I attempted to set free. Despite my own breath filling their bellies, the sparrows, crows, seagulls kestrels and swallows crashed and burned in their still boiling state. Sad I know. Infact the more life-like the birds became the more difficult it was to send them to their doom. I was just another man playing God.
