Birds of a feather by Margaret Mehaffey
11. Birds of a Feather - Margaret Mehaffey
Stained glass appliqued wall-hanging of two Celtic birds. My inspiration
came from a holiday in Alaska. I was struck by the similarities
of their mythological birds, animals and ours, both in form and
characteristics. The stance of these two birds seemed to epitomise
society in Northern Ireland today - two similar beings not actually
making eye contact and looking aloft and therefore unable to see
the similarities.
