Combining (ceramic) human body parts with vegetable forms to make a unique form is founded on the
principle
that we are all made of similar matter. In this piece, the scavenger-type bird is fashioned out of a human foot for the
body, hands for the wings, and a green pepper and pear for the head. It sits upon large eggs (avocados) in an
Easter Basket. I hope the viewer will enjoy the humor and ponder the irony of the situation of this bird trying
to protect and hatch these unlikely ‘eggs.’ This can be a metaphor for many of the false choices we humans make.
