caelum accipiter : Mothballed, 2011.
Glass, Oak, Plastic, Pine, Velvet.
approx 600x600x1000 (mm).
One must travel well off the beaten track to find a place where bird life is near its primitive condition. In all parts of the mainland there have been changes by the elimination of one or more species. The change has not been altogether one of the disappearance of native birds and their replacement by introduced species. Many kinds have gone and left nothing in their place.
