Sydney artist Emily Valentine Bullock takes dead birds found on the roadside, carefully plucks them and applies their feathers to make macarbe jewels, sculptures and wearable art, like plastic lizards, bra forms, bustiers and animal figures. The end result is incongruous flightless wonders like the pugcocks, boxers and brooches.
