the concept of LuvOwl is simple, birds eat the owl, and then bright colours “appear” around the city – true public art! LuvOwl is produced by moulding seed, suet and food colour into the form of an owl commonly but ineffectively used as a bird deterrent. the owls are based on the RGB colour model so in theory seeds from different coloured owls combined in the birds’ gizzards should produce a broad array of colours. craig will be in milan next week (14th-16th march) testing the project and scouting appropriate perches for the LuvOwls. craig alun smith is a canadian/british designer living and working in montreal, canada. known for his dialectic approach to design, his work typically plays with opposing forces and ideas, often with humour and emotion at its core.
