This piece speaks to the adage "A Bird in the Hand is
Worth Two in the Bush*".
The statement has been haunting me, begging to be
used in ecological "guilt-trip" sculpture.
As I consider this use of
phrase, I am equally persuaded to demonstrate my own artistic
worth (fulfilling
the symbol of the Bird), and the worth of the establishment (the Bush).
*"An Artwork in the Studio is Worth Two in a
Gallery"
The symbolic Bush is a protectant that allows you the
privilege to exist, (the original Bird
being saved from hunter's grasp) and
then doubles every valuable component of your being.
It is a powerful place!
And to recreate it as a piece aware of it's own place within a gallery
is to
raise conversation of the insular bubble and the artist's awareness of inclusion.
