To add to my collection of 4 wall pieces for the “Flocked” exhibition, (see last post) I made a small group of 3d birds.

Hey come on guys, don’t be shy – turn around, let me introduce you:

The Phoenix

This year it was so hot a phoenix arose from the sizzling sun Sunglasses on we tried to see it’s wings unfurl Still the bright golds burnt our eyes Taking it’s first flight we saw the feathers turning into flames And for all it’s beauty there lay a monster of our own image making wild…
