This work depicts a bird's skeleton exposed in a cliff face with a radiant sun in the sky. The John Creasey Museum is developing a theme of 'Other Worlds' within its collection and this work by a preeminent artist is an important addition with its visible signs of pre-history so prominently carved into the landscape and emerging from the earth's strata.
