a dulcet sparrow calls my name

Jo Forrest February 23, 2023

Collage, paper, acrylic paint on 12x12” canvas. Step one. From the poem by the same name.

‘A dulcet sparrow calls my name,

there’s fury in the sound,

a year from now you’ll find the mottled feathers

on the ground.’

‘a dulcet sparrow calls my name’ #835 v:2 Feb 7 2023


The finished collage, after a bit of painting things in and out again.
