All together now…
I was playing with the concept of multiple realities when working with these sculptures. I was examining the shamanic idea of inviting benevolent spirits or power animals into your mind and being, to bring help, healing and guidance.
They look quite fierce, and there was a lot of strong emotions involved during their creation, but I must admit I have had a whale of a time. Saying that, I spent most of the spring and summer in my bed or on the floor with a really bad back. So they took a long time coming, and now they are here I’m not sure what the next step is going to be; I had intended them for an exhibition in London, but they may well be too strange.
I can’t help laughing at the contrariness of life; these guys helped me through a really dire period; but they creep people out.
Hmm. Back to the drawing board.

I definitely admire the bird heads, but adding them as masks to the faces is creeping me out too much to enjoy them!

yes, I can see where you are coming from, and thank you for your feedback. I had so much fun making them, though.

You’re so creative. These are great. They don’t creep me out. I feel they are elevated in that way. I like it. Love the red, especially.
