When artist Vered Lahav discovered a dead bird on the side of the road, she began to think about the lessons one should have learnt in a lifetime and consequently a saying began to form in her mind, ‘If birds could read and books could fly.’ The contrasting of the two impossible functions in that phrase is the inspiration behind this new body of work, Légendes, due to open at BCA Gallery on Saturday 27 May 2006.
