Trio of Dancing Dodos

Original hand pulled screen print 4 colours 50 x 20 cm Heritage White 315 gsm paper Edition of 50 In Shelley’s time, some people believed that you could bring the dead back to life by running a current of electricity through their bodies. I have created some extinct animals using an electronic circuit board, clockwork cogs, taps, pipes and valves. The Dodo is such a special creature, comical and ungainly on land and very trusting. He was last seen on the island of Mauritius in 1662. A flightless bird which stood about 70 cm tall. It was sadly driven to extinction by the sailors who landed on the island and the creatures they brought with them. Could we bring the Dodo back to life now?
