Telling stories with wall surfaces

Papuans removed birds' feet but kept the plumage in tact
They used them as currency
The explorers didn't know this.
Footless birds were born,
in the developed world:
Birds of Paradise.
What could be more other?
​
The re-prepared bird had been taxidermied.
It was cocky, cocksure: 
An embodiment of museum culture
The taxidermist and I removed its feet, and made a blueprint photogram of their ghostly absence
The legs on the wallpaper rotate clockwise and anticlockwise
Between falling and flight
A gap, a translation, a mistranslation. 
​
(based on Zac Langdon-Pole's introduction to the discussion in the video above)

How do you make a lacquered space?
How do you make a lacquered image inside a space?
​It almost makes organic forms by itself, an image without tension
The process created its own image
Like the first human mark makers in stone, in a cave
I sanded away - like geology
​Creating stone realism - from lacquer
​
(Based on Phi Phi Oanh's introduction to the discussion in the video above)
