Wings Of Ink

Here are my wings, waiting at the bus stop this morning. Very pleased the bus driver let me on with them!
This is my latest sculpture project. We were asked to create a personal icon from timber or timber products (paper, bark chips, cardboard etc). I have made ink and paper wings, painted and stained with ink and tears, and covered in lines of poetry from a journal from 2010. These are the wings I have made for myself, the experience of flight bound to art, expression, creativity. There are 140 hand painted feathers, each finished with a sprinkling of golden rain. They are beautiful.
