PREGNANT EGRET
1978
This piece is available for purchase.
... a maternal bird, Inspired by Diane Arbus ...
The pregnant egret is in fact a heron. The bird names were swapped in favour of the alliterative sound.
She was first devised whilst working in a studio in London, and followed a vein of bird-headed work I had been pursuing at college. These ideas had initially come from dreams, but this piece was particularly influenced by a strange and powerful set of photographs by an American photographer, Diane Arbus.
The PREGNANT EGRET has taken on her own life though, she has a tenderness that is not apparent on first meeting.
I could see her on a monumental scale as a peaceful and thought-provoking piece.
