High Street landscape with Black Swan
Labels unpicked from 1000s of rag garments plus unwanted overs with dressmaker pins on canvas 90 x 90cm.
In this portrait of a black swan 1000s of unwanted clothing labels are substituted for the 25000 feathers usually produced by a single bird. The landscape reveals a history of the High Street with rag clothing labels arranged from light to dark to represent the sky and water. Black plumage is applied en masse using labels in reverse; fine detail is added with smaller size labels around the long S-shaped neck and red bill. See if you can spot the designer labels and Savile Row tailors amongst the familiar textures of the High Street.
