Birds offer us an emotional link with the natural world that can remind us to slow down and reconnect with nature. Jose’s life-like birds are hand-crafted from natural fibres using crochet, embroidery and needle-felt techniques. Her highly tactile work seeks to capture the particular bird’s character and energy, as well as the emotional response we have to it.
