A sculpture about soft things in hard places
I needle felted the from wool, the beak and feet are clay, and the eyes are clay and resin. The twigs are wire and clay with pigment, and the egg is clay and wax. The shed feathers are wool and wire.
This piece is about soft things in hard places, and comfort built in inhospitable conditions. As a disabled person, I often feel my comfort is built in an environment of inhospitality. I am drawn to the images of birds who have used the harsh steel of bird spikes as structure to build their nests. Ironically, the steel wire makes a strong warp on which to weave the weft of a home.
