Perches and Flyways is a new exhibition commissioned by Humber Street Gallery and produced by Creative Connections; an ongoing series of workshops run by Artlink Hull which pairs local artists with disabled communities to explore creative processes and improve wellbeing.
Working with artist Jennifer Holtridge and artist-duo Juneau Projects, the participants have created a collection of ceramic bird sculptures. Focusing on species which are becoming rare in the Humber’s environment, either due to changes in habitat or the bird’s behavior.
A number of evocative species, such as the Night Heron, the Shelduck and Ringed Plover, visited the location in the past. However, their numbers are declining in the area. The ceramic sculptures inspired by these bird breeds will be central to the installation and will form part of an engaging display showcasing the species within depictions of their habitats.
