I have made many Throwing Objects, all unique, though they are in a “family,” the first being a wren that my cat dropped at my feet. Perhaps it’s giving flight back, but, with the wren, I used the old folklore that if a wren flies into your chest, it’s an omen of death. I saw this one as a psychic weapon able to be cast into an internal landscape. It’s fair to say that for many years my bird pieces have been something of an obsession; looking back, maybe nearly half of my objects are in that area.
