Elizabeth Barton

Elizabeth Barton makes prints you can hold in your hands. A 2010 piece called Aeroplane Nest shows birds circling above a criss-cross of runways, the airport runway lines doubling as nests. It’s a quiet joke on how we build where birds once ruled.

Look closer and the print’s swirling dots turn the sky into a pattern only the birds notice. Tap Aeroplane Nest to zoom in and follow the lines back to the tarmac.
