In THE PARLOUR BIRDS various species of birds, no longer among the living, are currently entrenched within the decorative world of esthetics and wallpaper. They are inhabitants within the larger collage of memories produced by the convergence of four worlds. The energy created by this convergence instigates the birds’ migration from the wallpaper into life. These birds will leave their static lives, transforming the space around them, as they are born again, finding magic but retaining their memories of the past. My desire is that THE PARLOUR BIRDS will offer a place of quietude, reflection and magic. That one will stop for a moment, take a breath and notice the evolutionary shifts.
