Coup de Theatre exhibition set in Meadows Gallery in December 2016 in Summerhall, displayed various artworks made at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Royal College of Art.

Dozens of zebra finches flying around their big, open-air cage filled with electric guitars and amplifiers, creating an amazing composition of bird-singing and harmonic feedback.
