home for a recluse - a photo on Flickriver

home for a recluse

I thought it only appropriate to have one bright red image and a bright blue one next to each other.

Went out on a shoot early the other day and found this branch, which I insisted on dragging back with me for this bird shot that I had wanted to do for a very long time. I shot this on my bed. It was my original intent to build a huge, human-size bird case out of sticks. I even went out and bought nails and a hand saw for the occasion, but the hand saw broke on the first stick and I wasn't strong enough physically to complete the project on my own. But someday I will!

The title for this oddly relates to my life, as I am moving on Sunday and to everyone's surprise I'm moving just slightly out of Los Angeles...why would an artist do that when the action is in the city? When the artist aspires to be a recluse, of course. I'd move 3 hours north to the middle of the Mojave desert if I could, but that doesn't make any practical sense right now.

Next week I'll be selling these eggs, the mask that is homemade and I'm very proud of!, and the feathers....stay tuned on my fb fan page to get the announcement.
