Prototype "Lert"
We are told to "Be alert" and as I didn't know what a lert looked like I decided to use my imagination.
As they obviously spend most of their time at their post in window corners I felt that they wouldn't have much time to shop for clothes.
They always carry their treasures around with them and so there was an obvious need for their garments to be tied together with strips of fabric which would be useful to tuck their treasures into.
I have made the prototype from curtain "bump", strips of newspaper and old tissue, fabric, ink, stitch, a rusty screw and gesso.
These are tiny creatures so getting a suitable expression which combines terror, keenness and apprehension was difficult.
I think the isolation is getting to me!
