Birds on a Wire
Mixed Media Assemblage
This piece is deeply personal to me—an assemblage that reflects on both freedom and migration. The birds you see are more than just silhouettes in flight; they represent the invisible pull of instinct, the quiet intelligence that guides creatures across vast distances using the Earth’s magnetic field. I’ve always been fascinated by how birds just know when and where to go, finding their seasonal homes with such certainty. In creating this work, I wanted to explore that sense of direction—both physical and emotional. To me, migration isn’t just movement; it’s a return, a search for place and purpose. This piece is a tribute to that journey.
When possible, I love to use natural, found materials from around my home to package artwork; like dried plants and simple string … making each parcel personal, thoughtful, and connected to the spirit of the work.
