Fragility

Photos of birds that i found dead around my home in the Spring/Summer of 2008. placed in bottles like specimens. I found the bottles in my home from a previous occupant. I liked the difference between the brown bottle and the clear ones. I wanted to reference William Blake and the world in my hand so the brown bottle became covered in images whilst the clear ones contained images.
