" I want the paintings to express the ironies of our existence", Duffy writes, "'the human situation'": strength yet weakness, success yet failure, gain and loss, but above all the human Survivor, along with his or her thoughts, fears, hopes and fantasies". This is achieved in Bird of Paradise Triptych where the rich, elusive and lyrically resonant image of a bird is worked up into a complex metaphor. |
