Purity

Clay, Glitter, Acrylic Paint
Dimensions Variable
We begin our lives as pure and innocent, untainted by the world. As we grow, our stories change and evolve, adding unique elements to each of us. As humans, every day we face challenges that will change us. These changes can be small and minute, changing only slight aspects of our lives, or they can be large and cause colossal amounts of changes for us as a person. It is however, up to one’s own personal opinion whether these changes are good or bad, and make us better or worse people. To one person, a certain lifestyle or set of characteristics may seem ‘wrong’ and therefore they see certain people as ‘bad’ or ‘troubled’ while that in particular person may see themselves differently.
Purity is an exploration of life and change. Each bird has slight differences, making them stand alone from the others and allowing them to be unique whilst remaining a part of a larger group. The slight variations in size, body and position create the illusion of personality, allowing viewers to see the birds as individuals while they remain as a whole.
