Artist's Comments

This is how I truly feel...






I was going to leave this blank, but I feel I should say something in case there are some people offended.

I have never been more emotional about an art piece than this one. I was on my way to the grocery store when I saw this...

Wings ripped off the back of a bird.

I can only assume it was the product of some very cruel kids. (Edit, I'm also being told animals are known for doing this. I assume kids because it was in a very high traffic area and couldn't really see an animal going there) But it kinda hit home a bit.

I feel flightless. Broken.

Yes. Those are real wings from a bird. (I used proper precautions in handling the wings)


The "blood" is moisturizer with RIT dye.






I will always think about you little bird.

I know the feeling darlin, and may those children know what they have done and regret it.

No sane person would do that to a bird, child or adult

Oh gosh that is so sad. I was going to say "Wow those wings look convincing." But they are real. ;.;

Aw... that's so sad. I saw a dead bird the other day. It was really sad.

I can't really tell for sure from the picture, but I've seen cats that do similar things to birds. They'll just take the wings off after killing them before they eat them. So, while there's surely a dead bird involved, perhaps there are no pre-serial killer children involved.

This will probably sound trite, but I do know how you feel.
I wish I could tell you some way to get past it, but I'm still here many days.

Where i work we have to shoot birds cuz they cause damage. After a while you get numb to it. This just reminded me of that.
