Griggs uses photography to explore the texture of folk art, focusing on a wooden parrot defined by its vibrant, multi-colored plumage. The bird sits in a deliberate pose, its carved surfaces catching the light to reveal the grain and paint layers that give the subject its three-dimensional presence. By placing this human-made animal against a solid yellow backdrop, the artist emphasizes the saturated palette and the clean lines of the silhouette.

The composition relies on a sharp interplay between the organic inspiration of the bird and the flat, graphic quality of the background. This still life arrangement invites a closer look at the craftsmanship of the carving, treating the wooden toy with the same observational rigor usually reserved for living subjects. The result is a grounded, honest depiction that celebrates color variation and the quiet character of a physical object.
