"Pray to Be a Bird" - Colin Sussingham

📝Signed copy A supplement-like book has arrived, gently seeping into weary hearts and reminding us of the connection to nature that we often lose sight of in the hustle and bustle of modern society. Colin Sussingham's "Pray to Be a Bird" explores the interconnectedness of people, nature, animals, objects, and the spaces they inhabit. This work uses biomimicry (the idea of mimicking nature's mechanisms and applying them to human design and technology) as a starting point to reflect quietly, with a meditative gaze, on the passage of time and permanence, and on personal relationships and the landscapes encountered during travels. With an unshakeable lineup, the foreword is by Jim Mangan and the design is by Ed Davis' Hot Cottage.
