I am a bird lover. There's no doubt about it. I don't
know the names of them or their flight patterns... but I
have had enough lattes in the park to notice them
bounding ridiculously around. Mother Nature has a keen
sense of humor and I'm watching because I don't want
to miss a thing. I love these birds even if they don’t
dwell in sterling silver wallpaper printed houses with
perfectly flared copper smokestacks (I’m sure they
would if they could).
It’s not the soaring through the bright blue sky that gets my gears turning… it’s the
odd way that they move on the ground with their twiggy little legs and roundy
bodies. There’s nothing as funny as a bird in a birdbath either. In fact, it’s hard
to see the value in owning a bird bath unless you have seen a bird bathing.
Paintings of birds silent on a wire are a complete figment of the artist’s
imagination because they don’t stay still at all. In fact, I think they drink espresso,
just like me.
I’ve watched my five year old in a complete bird-like display on the soccer field…
bouncing and skipping totally unaware that there is a ball in play. We grow up and
forget how joyful life should be. I think we need to be reminded sometimes to
ignore the goal and blissfully skip and bound.
The song “Birdhouse in Your Soul” emphatically captures bird life and human life in
the most ridiculous way, but it makes you think none-the-less about things like
canaries and outlets and who is watching?
My pieces come from a silly, joyful place & should remind you that there is more
to life than your to-do list or your deadlines. There is a giddy energy that you can
embrace and even if you can’t always drink espresso in the park, your little
Birdhouse will embody that moment with it’s catawampus roof & crooked
windows to give you a good jumping off place for conversation.
