"Come to the edge he said.
They said, we are afraid.
Come to the edge he said.
They came.
He pushed them, and they flew."
This is a quote by Guillaume Apollinaire a poet, playwright, short story writer and novelist.
When I first read it, I knew I wanted to use it in my art. This is what I came up with. A simple wall hung piece, spelling out the quote with Scrabble tiles and embellished with images of birds from an illustrated vintage bird book.
Oh, this is lovely. Nice work :)
