To marvel in the flight of birds, longing to rise into the sky with swift lightness as birds do with their ability to navigate their direction and course with keen instincts. I look for every bird's extraordinary design and individual bird song and share the view of many cultures that have seen birds as messengers from heaven or symbols of departed souls. Importantly, humans are inextricably interconnected to the well being of birds and their habitat. In many ways, these collages reflect a personal sentiment of deep concern for the fate of birds. The expression 'canary in the coal mine' is a timely and cautionary message for humans.
