If Bird the Silence Contradict

Artist: Katja Oxman

diptych showing an interior space with patterned rug covered in prints, which have been neatly and intentionally placed; on the left side of the image there are several gray and white rocks that appear to serve as paper weights for the prints; the left also hosts a window looking out on a wooded landscape with a brown bird sitting on a branch at left center; a small bee rests on the window sill at left; in front of the window on a decorative box is a potted purple iris; on the right side of the image there is no window, just a solid, maroon colored wall and an undecorated box with a brass clasp that serves as a stand for three wilting irises in purple, red, and orange, which are loosely tied to two grey sticks for support; at bottom center on the right side two peaches and a small bird's nest with three eggs are obscured by two of the prints; the entire image is rendered in deep blues, greens, purples, golds, and pinks; at center where the left and right sheets come together is an abundant bouquet of flowers
