The Language of Birds 
A continuation of my research into creating artforms using sound, utilising the song of gynandromorphic birds 'The language of birds' intends to position their sound as oracle for the future and to reveal their hidden language. Both via practice - ‘translating’ their sound language into visual artforms, and via research - investigating the idea that naturally occurring sound is a magical language that can open new pathways of knowing.
