Artist-activist Leila Jeffreys transforms her avian subjects into portrait-worthy beings, photographing them at human scale. Showcasing the color, detail, and beauty of the Major Mitchell’s cockatoo, a bird specific to arid climates within the artist’s native Australia, the image is a reminder of the interconnectedness of human and animal life. ⁠ ⁠ 📸: Leila Jeffreys, 'Neville' Major mitchell's cockatoo 2012 ⁠ Photograph on archival fibre based cotton rag paper ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #cockatoo #environment #anthropomorphic #21cMuseum #21cartist #birdsofinstagram #birdlovers #birdphotography
