About the Item

Fly

2026

"When I was a girl my mother taught me about birds and we watched them, named them, fed them at a feeder outside the kitchen window. She died when I was 31. I think of her always when I watch and feed the birds outside my own kitchen window. My mother's cancer was brutal and very quickly robbed her of the freedoms a healthy body allows us. This piece is for her, symbolic of death setting her body free to fly again. Fly high Mom!"
