Bird 18 continues the bird series through a contained, layered form built from simple geometric shapes. The outer silhouette holds the inner figures in place, creating a sense of structure and quiet stability.
The composition feels grounded, with each shape clearly defined and balanced. The contrast between the outer and inner forms draws the eye inward, while the simplified legs and beak keep the figure light and direct.
As with the rest of the series, the bird sits between abstraction and representation. It’s reduced to its essentials, allowing the focus to remain on proportion, placement and the relationship between shapes rather than narrative.
The work is presented in a light pine frame that sits quietly alongside the composition.
