Passerine is the classification of a type of perching or song bird. My focus from the category was a Starling. My last year at University I was a the studio late on a Friday and found a limping Starling by my car. I took on the adventure and got it to a specialist some distance away. Having bonded with it early on, the effect lasted through to 2012. While on the way to Wal-mart, where black birds roost en force, I found a dead starling and began photographing its plumage for my files. The graphite and acrylic patterns in most of the collages are based on the plumage. Other symbols such as the sewing tissue overlays and the wood block prints speak too of personal language and understanding passive aggressive behavior and shyness in context of relationships.
