Louise Body is a designer and maker of wallpaper; her designs often take traditional motifs such as textile patterns, birds or flowers and give them a new contemporary twist. In this design the birds (approximately life-size) are arranged on lines like telegraph wires. The birds are printed in strong tones to appear silhouetted on the pale blue ground, as if seen against the sky.
