BIRDY BY ROWAN GILLESPIE 05/07/2025

'Birdy' is often described as a timid figure, poised precariously, much like a fledgling on the verge of its inaugural flight. This evokes a sense of nervous anticipation and the courage required for new beginnings. The sculpture depicts a crouching, naked woman, symbolising a bird newly freed from its cage, ready to embrace the sky. Its delicate positioning on the building's facade reinforces its theme of liberation and potential, making it a poignant piece for those fortunate enough to spot it. The sculpture measures 122 cm in height, as per Gillespie's own details.
