SPIRIT CLAW


(photograph)



In some of my assemblage sculptures, i use bones, skulls, teeth, feathers, claws...In doing so, i am honoring the spirits of the wild creatures. Our ancestors of the animal kingdom.
I spent a long time, listening to and speaking with, this claw. I held it ever so gently, in the palm of my hand, revering this creature's ability to fly. This being, who had had a blessed life on earth. I brought the claw to my lips, and kissed it. I ran it along my cheek, to feel its roughness. And i took many photographs. I feel blessed to have been gifted with this one.
Blessed Be
