Easter Binny!
Happy Easter flickr friends. We found this Ibis* (see below) on a suburban property a week back, obviously it wasn't full of Easter Eggs that day, a bit early. But why Easter Eggs. Well, they represent new life as in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"The egg itself became a symbol of the Resurrection. Just as Jesus rose from the tomb, the egg symbolized new life emerging from the eggshell. In the Orthodox tradition, eggs are painted red to symbolize the blood that Jesus shed on the cross."
"Then the angel spoke to the women 'Don't be afraid!' he said, 'I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He isn't here, he is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come see where his body was lying'". Matthew 28:5-6 TLV
As it says, "He is risen"!
Now what about the Ibis? Well, like Brisbane's little doors, we have these Ibis artworks spread around the city involved in various activities. Sadly, they get stolen but the artist has made them more resilient. As he says -
"I made metal bin chickens and installed them around Brisbane as public art. But unfortunately they kept getting stolen. People loved them and they went viral all the time so I knew I needed a way to make them more permanent. I came up with the Bin Chicken Trail where businesses, homeowners and communities would buy a 'Binny' and I would attach it securely on their premises. It helps to bring eyes to their business and feet in their door. But moreover it's a bit of fun, gives people a laugh and makes Brisbane more interesting".
You can read all about Brisbane's fabulous Ibis art, found on buildings across the city on the Bin Chicken Trail at this website.
*Colloquially often known as a Bin Chicken or Binny.
