Inspired by Joseph Cornell: Making a Decorative Aviary Box

By Andrea Butler

I had really enjoyed creating  sculptural birds for AccessArt’s Share-a-Bird Project and inspired by the current exhibition at the Royal Academy of the work of Joseph Cornell, I made an aviary with a flock of decorative birds based on Cornell’s bird box constructions.
