Southern Birds

Inspired by Johann Bayer’s illustration of the Southern Birds constellation in his Uranometria, a star atlas, published in 1603. The constellation comprises of four bird panels: Tucana (toucan), Grus (crane), Phoenix and Pavo (peacock). The fifth title panel, alongside the whole presentation of the mosaics, references the John Clayton mosaics in Chester Cathedral.

Materials include reclaimed ceramics, including 1970’s Midwinter Caprice and J&G Meakin’s Impact cups and saucers, vintage vegetable dishes, turkish pottery, a teapot, lustre ware, salvaged blue tiles with gold glass tiles and Winckelmans tiles, on a Wedi board substrate. Handmade MDF frame.
