Inspired by the significance of colour in the courtship behaviour of birds, he explores the power of seduction and how through colour and lighting, he can coax the viewer into enjoying something they may ordinarily find objectionable. Ellison is drawn to using birds in his work as they are well suited to exploring ideas around our own primal and animalistic drives. Where human biological desires are hidden behind a cloak of complex and interlinked behaviours, birds’ are much clearer. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr type=\"_moz\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe colour blue saturates Entombment, which likens the common grey bird to something more exotic, a peacock perhaps. Ellison observes, ‘the feral pigeon, not the most celebrated of birds, is shown in an almost religious context, with its iridescent purple and green plumage brought to the foreground.’ Away from the context of the street, it has been transformed into something culturally worthy of wonder. Ellison is drawn to this old trope of finding the beauty in the mundane, an idea that embodies romanticism and a kind of acceptance.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Postcard Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56440659476806,"sku":null,"price":3.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3216\/9030\/files\/20260425_074.jpg?v=1777106069","url":"https:\/\/postcardfinder.co.uk\/products\/dead-grey-bird-laying-to-rest-entombment-photo-art-award-postcard","provider":"Postcard Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
