Early Birds
Birds offer endless inspiration for my work. These birds were made with parts from cars, bicycles, typewriters, clocks, plumbing, light fixtures, and other things. When typewriters were replaced by PCs, many were available for me to dismantle and put to use, as you'll see in some of these pieces.
