The story behind "Flight of Freedom"

As one of the newer exhibitors at the Gallery@12 gallery in Eccleshall, it was a real honour and privilege to create and install a new mobile free standing sculpture to welcome visitors to the space.

Now that the Gallery 12 mobile is now fully installed l thought it would be the right time to explain my inspiration and construction of the mobile.     

Flocks of birds have always fascinated me, the ever changing flight form, a pattern and multitude of life all intent on moving who knows where. The sculpture is called "Flight of Freedom" and is constructed in birch plywood. Each bird is cut out with a jigsaw and jointed together to form a strong mass.

A total of 80 birds each painted with a number of selected colours front and back. This enabled the creation of movement. A number of birds are suspended to hang free treated with light reflecting materials to enhance the movement.   

The Gallery has always tried to reach out to customers, to portray artistic excellence and build a respected following.   I do hope a focal point has been created for the Gallery and new interest for the arcade and the people of Eccleshall.
