At Fly-Two-Birds (1)
It's a relief how this piece turned out (that's a joke). It's maybe the two-and-a-half dimensional equivalent of those two-dimensional puzzle pictures which depict a three-dimensional scene but are impossible in three dimensions.
This piece has two birds' heads, either end, so it doesn't know whether it is coming or going (though in this picture the bird to the right is flying upside down over Alaska).
It's all a bit absurd which is partly why Flann O'Brien's "At Swim-Two-Birds" was adapted for the title to become "At Fly-Two-Birds". It can, if you like, be taken as a comment on the frequent absurdity of life.
Bog pine, oiled and coated with matte acrylic varnish.
