ART BASED ON EMOTION
Some things
stay with you.
Let them.
Art based on emotion.
Stories shaped by imagination.
01 / THE COLLECTION
Not every wall
needs something ordinary.
An exploration of feeling, memory and imagination.
Choose a piece. Look a little closer.
02 / BETWEEN THE LINES
The picture
is only
the beginning.
Some images deserve more than a passing glance. They deserve a story.
The Thing Above You brings Mike Ferlatte’s artwork and storytelling together in an exploration of fear, atmosphere and what lies just beyond sight.

EXPLORE ANOTHER STORY
The Last
Exposure.
An antique camera. A family photograph that cannot be right. A memory that changes every time you look away.
Set in Fort Erie and Ontario’s Niagara region, The Last Exposure follows a man sorting through his late mother’s belongings. What he discovers draws him into a haunting mystery of vanished people, impossible photographs and the unsettling spaces beside a sleeping person’s bed.

A LITTLE DOOR TO WONDER
Jory and the
Pocketful of Stars.
A friendly jack-in-the-box. A door the size of a biscuit. A garden where stars help new dreams find their way.
“The nursery had been waiting for someone to notice it.”
“She noticed unusual things. A leaf shaped like a mitten. A cloud with a missing tooth.”
Join Nora and Jory on a magical adventure filled with talking animals, laughter-loving moths and a star in a very sticky situation. A warm, imaginative story for children, with a mysterious invitation waiting at the end of Part One.

03 / THE WORLD BEHIND THE WORK
For the
beautifully strange.
Sparrow’s Art & Oddities is the creative home of Mike Ferlatte in Ontario, Canada. A place for expressive artwork, imaginative storytelling and creations shaped by feeling.
From quiet reflection to wonder, nostalgia and unease, each piece explores a different feeling. The work begins with a simple question: what if?
