    That’s interesting,I also didn’t know that. I have only read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I like the birds eye view idea/interpretation a lot. Thank you Debora

    its an interesting development with the book title....indeed

    but can't see that being anything from a birds eye view.......a birds eye view of what one might ask

    Maybe a figurative ‘bird’s eye view’. Any who knows with art..

    It could just be a study of color + black. There's no way of knowing what the artist's intention was without being familiar with his other work.

    The artist very kindly replied me. She apologised for the late reply,but noted that she had been travelling. Her response below: (I find it both interesting and complicated (but my creative side is limited)

    “Yes this is my work and you are on the button with the title ! One of my favourite books.

    So this particular body of work centred around the constructed ideas of home and how we experience it. The house image is almost universal in the way we identify with it, yet the concept of home is for many and myself included often expressed in displacement and dysfunction. The repetition of the image disrupts and confuses and what we are left with is the kind of fragmentation that echoes this idea”

    Yes,great of her. I really can’t justify judging a creative mind.. Also it is meant to confuse to some extent.. so that’s a good point to note…
