"Birdhouse IV"Labels: Art Everyday by Mick Mather, digitally manipulated fractal flame and collage, NEW from The Birdhouse Series
posted by Mick at 3:40 PM
In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

Is Birdhouse a protection or is it a bound ?
In any case, this is an excellent work,i love it.
Have a nice busy week.

A birdhouse is a protection. A house-like enclosure that a bird can move in and out of freely, build a nest inside and raise young protected from the weather. A birdcage would be a bound type of enclosure where access is restricted.
I'm glad you like this image. :)
There's a good balance in this pic. The black bird, obviously the groom and the white cloth, smooth and delicate -the bride.
Going to a white wedding, Mick?
susupetal:
Thanks for the comment on the compositional balance. The variation and repetition of forms and shapes is always on my mind when placing things and I like the way this white wedding turned out too! :D
OOooh, I love this! Super.
Some of these may need a page on Silk Creek Review! GREAT work.
Love the colors, tones and textures and the cool comp!

Thanks so much, Mary! I got your email and this looks terrific on the Silk Creek Portal page! :D
I am delighted to find a bird with the bird house. It's a wee bit ominous but I love that it's there. The light reflecting on the top of his wings and head has given him a wonderful shape although I feel he's frozen in time..waiting, watching...for what? His mate? Prey? Maybe man has intruded apon his space?
Love the definition of protection/bound. More food for thought for me!
lisa sarsfield:
Hmmm, only Birdhouse III is bird-less. You may have to look for them, but the first two definitely had a bird with each birdhouse. Many thanks for the delightful comment on this black bird. I love questions like these, they can lead to wonderful stories. I wonder if Miss 10 might have one?
This is great. It looks horrible (I'm scared of birds), but that's the point!
elegia:
LOL, one too many Alfred Hitchcock movies perhaps? :D
