SWEATER BIRDS

Frustrated at not having their own identity both as a bird within a species and as piece within production, the Sweater Birds took drastic action to become individuals. 
During the casting process the mold was chipped before each cast to create individual character variations, allowing the birds to break free of the production boundaries. Each 'sweater' was chosen on consultation of individual birds, then hand screen-printed and fitted to provide a tailored bespoke garment.

I absolutely love these and their narrative. They are singing a song I recognise ...
