These pieces I began working on sort of on a whim. They stem from little sketches I’ve been doing lately, sometimes just on random scraps of paper. I decided to keep up with the fortunes from the fortune cookies. I only wish I could figure out how to photograph the entire piece with the text more visible and easy-to-read. Oh well, I’ll keep at it.
The overall vibe from these particular pieces is that of loneliness — not necessarily a bitter or depressed loneliness, but the sort of lovely kind that invites a lot of thought and contemplation. It’s something I greatly miss sometimes, and what I was greatly attached to when these sketches came about.
And again, there’s the theme of birds, which is why the series is pretty straight-forward “Girl and Birds”
