Taking Flight

I love the quick sketch quality of the smaller seed mosaics. They are such a relief from the large scale installations that require tedious planning and repetitive processes. But working on Taking Flight was an invitation to slow down, be with the piece awhile, play with scale and movement, maybe create a narrative that would bring comfort to a grieving heart.
