Beach art and the hassles of working with seagulls



Seagulls are a bit of a bitch to work with. They demand to be paid in fresh fried hot chips (not too much salt). They always bring a boatload of relatives along to every project, who then having nothing better to do circle and squark and generally cause mayhem - demanding chips for doing nothing other than turning up uninvited.

This bird was at least accredited by the Seagull Performer's Guild in still life posing. However it clearly failed the lesson on the subject on "You may not like the resulting artwork, but always remain polite, appreciative, and grateful for the opportunity to work with a talented artiste."

This seagull, with whom we will NEVER work again, objected to the suggestion that seagull brains are made of the spongy roots of a soft coral.

The beach is the installation space.
Art darling.
Appreciate it you heathen bird.
