BIRD SPIRITS 1986-
1988.
I see winged creatures, straining their still useless wings, earthbound, stifled. They appear to have grown themselves, altering and growing according to the environment. Landscaping themselves.
August 8, 1992.
Working on two birds for most of the day. I keep wanting to make them abstract and they refuse, absolutely. I keep wondering what they mean, but I guess I'm not meant to know, in the context of my other work.They were very ethereal, couldn't stand, were straining wraiths without feet. I had to prop them up or lean them against the wall. Now they have solid feet-,stand squarely, seem to be "established". I kept taking them apart and remaking them these last 4 years, as if they each had to go through a physical process that paralleled my mental conception of them, and parallelled my own development.
