"Big Responsibility"
mixed media soft sculpture
(found wood, vintage thread, wire, floral tape, polyfill, bed sheet, muslin, acrylic paint)
I found a wooden shelf-style spice rack at the dump and took a few pieces of it apart to make the base of this piece. I used an awesome thrifted bed sheet for the underwings on the parent birds. It is white with black horoscopes typed all over it. I think this pair has a big job ahead of them. Look at all those eggs. Making the little baby bird in the nest made me very happy.
For the first time in what feels like a very long time I had uninterrupted time to work today. It was so nice. I’m so glad we are back into fall and a structured schedule. I think the kids are, too.

This sculpture is beautiful, and for me captures the joys and anxieties of parenthood, the fine tightrope we tread, and the ties that bind us together.
