Dimensions: 5.00 H X 12.00 W X 12.00 D Inches

I assemble individually beautiful and fragile feathers into strong vessels. Since ancient times, feathers have symbolized spiritual communication, since birds, as messengers, fly between earth and sky. Like elegant chariots, soft yet secure, they are destined to carry a soul on its transmigration into the next world. I have been exploring the womb-like vessel form since the early-80‘s, stitching together materials and meaning, so that we can hold in our hands something as ephemeral, yet strong as pure, as vibrating colors that have assumed a form. I welcome you to journey with me and complete this vision with your own insights.
