Ritual

In 2021 while studying imagery and footage of birds and wildlife, Lisa noticed that it was sometimes impossible to distinguish between aggression and attraction in birds behaviour. While much of the footage and imagery looked extremely aggressive, she noted that in many cases the behaviour was the precursor to the birds mating, or fighting for territory to mate. Ritual is Lisa’s response to the notion that human behaviour and our mating rituals are not that different.

The internal structure of the birds are made entirely from paper and card with over 1,000 hand cut paper pieces added to create the texture.
