Birds have a prominent place in mythology and in the narratives of all cultures throughout history. They are one of the primary themes that have consistently appeared in my work over the years, and I always seem to return to this image.
Birds are believed to be the souls of the dead returning, and they represent the air element, or the stage of sublimatio in alchemical lore. I seem to have a unique personal relationship to birds when I am out in the world, and I deeply appreciate this connection.
