Holly Newman - Magpie





Magpies are hugely misunderstood animals, with a stigma that follows them around and instills fear in some who cross their paths. I chose to focus my Research Methodology on Magpies because I wanted to learn more about them, and was surprised to find out that the stories I was taught about them were exactly that- stories! Myths and fables told and retold, traveling down through generations.  









Magpies are notorious for stealing shiny, precious items, like jewellery. I wanted to play on this myth and explore themes of greed and always wanting MORE.
