Blue bird block was a little story that manifested when making this piece. It’s about a little blue bird who grew up in blue block, where everything is blue. All the little bird knew was the colour blue.

One day little blue bird learnt how to fly and started flying around to different blocks, during this flight he realised that there were many different colour blocks, there was pink, purple, green, red, yellow and many more.

Blue bird got a shock, he only ever knew the colour blue. He went home to his mother and asked what are all these different colours. She responded…what you have seen growing up is just a small part of a bigger picture. Soon you will discover all the colours of the rainbow and know that just because you grew up on blue block doesn’t mean that blue is the only colour, the best colour or the most beautiful colour. It’s just one colour and if you look inside, you will find all the colours.
