Promotional pamphlet for "Song of the Thrush" by Telfer Stokes.
"Song of the Thrush was conceived during my first exposure to the raw poverty on the streets of Bombay. I had travelled to India to be taken out of myself, with nothing to lean on, no one to help, in a place I had never been to where everything was different. A great deal of what I found there had a strange familiar feel to it, which I let myself be immersed in. Song of the Thrush has a visual/tactile quality to express a range of feelings from humour to pathos to anger. As a prelude a slow introduction is made through a series of images & titles that are commentaries on each other. This in turn leads to the song where the images, words, and colour become an interwoven dialogue." - artist's introduction
