Hope is the thing with feathers
Work in progress.
This long running personal project started with a photograph of a strawberry finch and turned into a quest to draw all the other birds I didn’t even know existed, many of which are endangered or living in threatened habitats. The title is a reference to a poem by Emily Dickinson. The world sometimes feels like a hopeless place but birds always remind me of beauty and diversity. I’m slowly building out the alphabet between other projects but when it’s finished it will be turned into a set of prints to raise funds for conservation.
