Birds of a feather

I use words in my art because I spent my life around words. This Japanese saying is common in that country and I took a different spin on it. I got a set of sayings from my Japanese family when i asked for sayings with six characters. Japanese is far more compact than English because you can fit more information in a smaller space. The saying "rui ha tomo qo yobu" precisely translates as "similar things call their friends" but idiomatically it translates as 'Birds of a feather' clock together.

After getting a BA in 1985 I worked in various offices for 35 years before becoming a journalist. In 2022 I established the Eastern Suburbs Art Group with Simon Kahn and began making works, taking up watercolour in November. I participated in a group show ‘Colour as A Plot Device’ in August 2023 and had my own solo show ‘Media of Mass Psychology’ in November 2023.
