Janette THOMPSON
Birds and Mammals [31 October - 23 November 2013]
Janette’s keen interest in birds as a subject matter is mainly due to their fascinating colours and hard dinosaur-like beaks. Some birds, such as the cassowary, convey many hybrid type features, such as contrasts between soft, dynamic feathers and rigid shell-like structures. Movement and the form of the bird are built up slowly so as to evolve on the paper. This is achieved rather like a sculpture, so the outline of the bird is finally seen at the conclusion of the drawing.
