“PUTTING DIFFERENCES ASIDE” - FOX & CRANE MURAL

A hand painted mural on Stackpool Road in Bristol as part of Upfest 2024. “Putting Differences Aside” was the idea behind this piece, with the fox and crane coming together to enjoy a drink. Inspired by Aesop’s fable “The Fox and the Crane” (or Fox and Stork as it’s also known). The story is about a fox who makes fun of a crane by inviting him to dinner and serving him soup in a dish that he cannot drink from. The crane takes revenge by returning the invite and serves the fox some soup in a narrow jug that the fox cannot drink from either. The moral: to treat others as you would wish to be treated.
