BIRD POOP ART by sue mitchell
the splat that started everything
My goal, during my 2012/13 52-week arts sabbatical, was to become more aware…seeing, feeling, listening, focusing and documenting…starting with the obvious. Walking, writing and carrying my camera helped with this enhanced awareness. When I was taking photos of the 52 Montezuma Bald Cypress trees, at Fairmount Park for my “52” exhibit, I spent a lot of time looking up (the trees are 70 ft tall!) One day I looked down…talk about starting to notice the obvious.
I had a BIRD POOP ART exhibit as part of my “52” exhibition and it was one of the most popular parts of my exhibition. ENJOY!
I was surprised and thrilled to find a book identifying “What Bird Did That?”…

Hi Sue,
My name is James Loy. I am 67 years young living in Covid19 Lockdown in Blackpool on the North West coast of England. I am currently interested in the bird poop art as it is one of the few subjects I get to photograph during my walks along the streets and promenade where I am rather lucky to live. I have goals to achieve in my project as you may see as my Instagram gallery @punployart developes. I just thought I should share my ideas in observation and as I am aware all things in art have been done before. I am pleased to know that I am not the only one in the world that appreciates the here and now and only then can it be recorded for people to see in the future.
Kind regards,
James loy
