  2. Artistic Concept • Our main concept works with the overall theme of Migration, which is why we have chosen Migratory Birds as our visual idea. • Migration has strongly affected everyone’s social circle in the last few years. Within our current climate it has become many people’s only option for a more secure future. • The point of optimism of using the birds is playing with the main idea that they will all eventually return. • This ties in with the panel group’s concept, as they both portray a sense of hope. We feel the scattering of the birds compliments the structure of the panels.

  3. Silhouettes

  4. Description of Artwork itself • Keeping within the theme of Migration we have decided on the installation of Silhouettes of two birds; Swallows and Geese. The main reasons for choosing these two birds is that they are visually interesting shapes. In the case of the geese they have a strong connection with Wexford. Swallows were chosen for their strong identification with migration. • The colors that we have chosen are the three primary colors; red, yellow and blue. These were chosen for the overall strength of visual impact. We also feel that it would further compliment the panelsbecause of their sharp silhouettes. • The idea originally came from an installation Walker galley during the Liverpool Biennial. An artist installed brightly cultured Pigeons and strategically placed them around the gallery and roof top. This really had an impact on us as group and we felt that they worked well within the space. • For the laneway by Westgate we hope to put bird footprints on the ground to symbolize the start of a journey. Once they get to the birds again they have taken off.

  12. Technical Details • All the birds will be pre-cut and pre-prepared for hanging. • A 6 or 8mm masonry drill bit will be required for installing the birds. • We require people to hang the work for two days, as it is all above eye level. • We need to be present when the work is being installed, because of the scattered placement.
