Bird Lady

The Bird Lady sits hidden among the ivy intent on her studies. She wears a peacock crown and is guarded by two curlews. What could she be studying? It could be tiny blue eggs, it could be a posy of forget-me-not, it could be porcelain marbles. Whatever you care to place in her hands, she will give the utmost attention.
 
A stone carving in red St Bees sandstone, this is a unique sculpture reflecting on the meditative nature of study.
