About the work
Show Them Where To Go, installation by Richard Harrison consists of five bird boxes designed to reflect principles of automotive fabrication and aesthetics.
A series of five birdhouse sculptures installed in Campbell Park as part of MK Fringe Festival 2025. Inspired by Machinedrum's track “Oracle,” the title—taken from the lyric “Show them Where To Go”—echoes both the song’s themes of beauty, movement, and shared experience. Out of context the title refers to the idea of parenthood and teaching. Each birdhouse reflects principles of automotive fabrication—clean lines, fluid shapes, and subtle nods to car-body aesthetics—while drawing from organic, natural forms and the familiar vernacular of suburbia.
Materials: Fabric, Epoxy Resin, PLA 3D Print, Cardboard, Expanding Foam, Spray Paint, Vinyl Decals.
