In this textured mixed-media piece, a black-and-white bird likely a magpie perches delicately atop an abstract surface of layered paint and embedded objects. The background’s muted gray tones evoke a quiet, atmospheric stillness, while subtle hints of gold and ochre add warmth. The bird, symbolic and curious, appears to inspect or hold a string, inviting contemplation. This work by T. May (2020) merges realism with abstraction, exploring themes of nature, curiosity, and material contrast.
