This is my submission for the British Art Medal Society medal exhibition 2013.
The title and theme of the medal ‘A
bird in the hand…’ relates to the fact that sometimes you are only able to
fully appreciate the intricacies of nature when they are held.
When holding the medal in the
right hand (skull side up) the viewer should be able to line up the bronze
finger tips with their own, and when closing their hand the medal will flip,
revealing the text on the reverse; ultimately placing the bird in the palm.
