The story
The fulmar believed the ceiling would hold. It had read the reports on load-bearing capacity and found them encouraging. Every morning it sat in the armchair and waited for the plaster to confirm its optimism. The tie was knotted tightly. Outside, the wind moved the trees in slow, indifferent arcs. The bird did not blink. It simply remained, certain that the structure was sound and that its patience would eventually be rewarded with a certificate of stability.
The brief
A white fulmar sits upright in a beige armchair, wearing a small grey tie. The walls are pale yellow, lit by a single grey fluorescent tube. The bird stares at a blank wall with a fixed, hopeful expression.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
