"I like you because your tu-whit tu-who merry note resides in Shakespeare's 'Love's Labour's Lost.' I could be talking about the Tawny owl (Strix aluco); I could be talking about you."

Extending on the work we created as part of Animal Instinct at Metropolis Gallery and our artists’ book, Because I Like You, Louise and I have created a new pairing for Port Jackson Press Gallery’s forthcoming exhibition, Contemporary Paper. Looking into the mirror, this time around, a Tawny owl under Shakespearean mantle as lemonwood engraving and collage.
