Birds of a feather: bowerbirds and me
(Book)
Copies
Description
One makes colorful paper collages; the other, intricate environments out of found objects. And yet the author and the remarkable bowerbird are truly birds of a feather. Susan L. Roth is like a bowerbird, a small black bird found in Australia and New Guinea that builds elaborate structures from various materials they find near their habitats. Though Susan creates books to attract readers and bowerbirds build bowers to attract a mate, both get their ideas from the world around them and the materials they find. Both love colors. No two of their respective creations are alike. And most importantly, both Susan and the bowerbirds aspire for their finished works to be greater than the sum of their parts. With engaging backmatter and dazzling artwork, this visually delightful picture book from award-winning author and artist Susan L. Roth is a fascinating comparison of art we create and art we find in nature.
