AND VICTORIA MULLAN
Our mixed media bird sculptures are
the result of over 20 years of collecting and study. We have
always been fascinated with birds of all kinds, which led to
collecting vintage hunting decoys and small bird carvings. We
use our collection to inspire our carvings, trying to capture
the warmth and beauty of a well loved and handled decoy.
Recycled metals and found objects are incorporated to give
each sculpture its own individuality. The use of these
materials reflect the fragile balance between nature and
industry. Objects that were once cast aside as useless are
now the foundation for our assemblages. The birds give life
to these once forgotten pieces of yesterday. We invite the
observer to find the beauty and mystery that lie concealed in
these familiar yet forgotten objects. We hope these birds put
a smile on your face and a song in your heart. We travel all
over the country exhibiting at juried art festivals, searching
for our recycled materials along the
way.
