Flying High

Swallows for me are the most tenacious and courageous of birds. I am fascinated by their yearly ‘trek’ and often wonder where they land on the ‘other side’. I wait for them each year and am sad when they’ve gone but I find them a huge inspiration – If they can do what they do, I can too! In this piece, I’ve used fine cotton fabric, symbolizing the fragility but also the strength of the birds, and focused on the unending open sky they must conquer.
