\u00a0A Bird in the Hand but Nothing for the Soul

85.5 x 4.5 x 4″ closed. Covered wire. Stained glass. Gouache on binders board with found objects. Composed of two pieces: box with peephole on top; drawer that pulls out to unfold the ‘story.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Milissa Burkart: “The Bird in the Hand piece is, very generally speaking, about unrequited love.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While “unrequited love<\/em>” might suggest gloom, this tableau of sadness and silent melancholy is paradoxically a joy of discovery. A peephole begins the fun: turn and tilt the box to catch glimpses of what the shadows obscure; pull the drawer slowly, tilt it forward – a bird in the hand; remove the drawer completely, open the triptych structure and behold Eros(?) almost offstage, hidden by barren tress in a parched landscape, separated from potentially vivifying rain. This is a romantic relishing each nuance of hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n

This photo was taken at Philbrook pond.\u00a0 The sun was directly over head, and what I like about the shot most was the surrounding darkness of the photo with the reflective specks of sunlight breaking through.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
