Dani Ives - Re: Unfortunately, your email does not find me well.

Stories in Birdsong is a collection of new work by Dani Ives, featuring starling murmurations rendered in needle felted wool paintings, alongside a companion series of gouache paintings. The fiber works are built up layer by layer from loose wool, giving each flock a soft, textured depth, while the gouache pieces capture the shifting shapes with opaque precision. 

Each piece illustrates a single moment in a murmuration, a shape that exists for only a split second before the flock moves on. Meanwhile, that same split second is happening everywhere else, full of other stories. And so, within each title is an invitation to ponder: what else is true for this exact moment?

Re: Unfortunately, your email does not find me well. I had a dream last night that I was carried away by a flock of burgundy birds. They whispered what the oaks have been hiding in the acorns. So, I swallowed one and turned into the forest. Now that I am made of moss and wood and chlorophyll, I have limited availability. Therefore, I will not be attending your meeting.
