In the wings

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Oh, no, we were right the first time, it is a bird – a wooden one by printmaker Bridget Farmer, to be exact. According to Bridget, she caught the birdy bug (not to be confused with the bird flu) while growing up in Ireland, observing and sketching the feathery chums. These days, from her headquarters in country Victoria, she hand-prints on plywood to make mobiles in the shape of magpies, swallows, willie wagtails and more.
