Auguste Blackman 'Birdtalk' mixed media Rankin is an enriching findBirdtalk is an avian ode. In his distinct, emotional prose, son of Charles Blackman, Auguste Blackman uses a birds flight through life to remind us of the preciousness of nature. Not just a place for humans, the land is a miraculous tapestry of lives and here, in a myriad of colours and moments, Blackman impresses this idea. Birds of different colours and feathers flock together, perhaps conversing about the day or as a chorus, singing the sun away.
