I grew up a short train ride north of Boston. Weekends would find me in the Museum of Fine Arts taking printmaking in the Museum's education department.

This antique tribal rug had been in my family for many years before it was partially destroyed in the fire.
While the fire was raging I took a video of the building. Weeks afterwards when I viewed it I noticed an easle outside that hadn't been tucked away for the winter. There on the top was a bird, which seemed inprobable since it was mere few feet away from a very hot fire. When I eventually went outside to examine the easle I realized it was the canvas clip. My inspiration for a murmurring of starlings was born out this illusion.
