Emma Carlow: Dove Ceramic Whistle

This ceramic Dove Whistle has been exclusively created by renowned artist Emma Carlow for YSP Shops, to coincide with the exhibition One to Give. One to Take Away, by Jordy Kerwick.

This series of whistles is inspired by The Bestiaire d’amour by Richard de Fournival. Richard de Fournival was a thirteenth century French writer, best known for his Bestiaire d'amour - Richard's Bestiaire is not a traditional bestiary. Instead of using animal characteristics to illustrate a moral or allegorical teaching, Richard used bestiary themes and animals to plead his case to an unnamed lady who he claims to love, but who does not love him in return.

Dove:
Doves sit on water so they can be forewarned of an attack by a hawk, because they can see the hawk's shadow in the water in time to escape. The person who acts with foresight can guard from afar against anyone who would do harm.
