If I Were

IF I WERE

2012, 8″ x 10″x 4″, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina, and Encaustic on Birch

As a Delaware/Cherokee Native American, I grew up hearing family stories of shapeshifters with the idea of a trickster who hides their identity, birds as messengers, and owls as bearers of tragic news. In “If I Were” you see where the bird is shifting and he is stuck between the two worlds trying to choose, the world of man or the world of the spirit. He has the hands and eyes of mankind but they are still in bird form.

As a Delaware/Cherokee Native American, I grew up hearing family stories of shapeshifters with the idea of a trickster who hides their identity, birds as messengers, and owls as bearers of tragic news. In “Watcher” you see where the bird is shifting and he is stuck between the two worlds trying to choose, the world of man or the world of the spirit. He has the hands and eyes of mankind but they are still in bird form.

On a Limb

ON A LIMB

2011, 14″ x 9. 5″ x 19″, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina, and Sterling Silver

In “On a Limb” the girl balances on the branch watching, reaching for the bird that has landed on the tip of a small branch to watch her. The bird is a silver bird, which I refer to as a “Birdens”. While goals, objects, situations, and people may be a burden at times, they are important and precious to each of us, thus we care for them, and for this reason I cast the birds in the precious metal sterling silver.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GRAVITY

2015, 6″ x 7” x 7″, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina

When you are under an “influence” it is never your own fault but that of your surroundings, the other people that made the thing happen, or is it? Here the figure is pulled to the ground under the influence of gravity.
