The Fliers of Gy
Bookplate illustration based on Ursula K Le Guin’s short story The Fliers of Gy, which I entered into the Folio Book Illustration Award. The story explores a world where feathered, bird-like people live - some of whom grow wings in late adolescence. The winged people of Gy are ostracised, seen as risk takers where those who do not fly are living safe, normal lives. I wanted to evoke the disconnect between those who choose to fly and those who do not, through negative space and scale. Through the colour palette, I convey serene joy as Ardiadia, a winged Gyian, flies for the first time.
