Sunny Bird

Sunny Bird’s shape is familiar, reoccurring and is a development and simplification of what started out being a robin or an equally perky small bird sitting on a branch. The branch helps to anchor the bird and its posture is bold and full of confidence. It is, perhaps, part of how I wished to project myself. The colours are a new combination for me and are an indication that things are progressing  in a positive direction. The vibrant, eye-catching colours are a bold statement and the nature inspired motifs add pattern and interest to its simple shape, bringing in the bird’s connection to its environment.

The idea of fitting a bird inside a circle was established a long time ago and since then variations of that theme have emerged. The corner pieces are far more elaborate on this design, in keeping with the colourful decorative detail on the bird. Their shape supports and forms an anchor for the solid-coloured circle and bird to sit in.

The depiction for this greeting card is a perfect representation from my meticulously hand-made paper cut artwork, capturing the textures and shadows made by the cut, layered papers that were formally a bas-relief design.
