Rice Paper Sculptures: Birds

My life-size birds are constructed entirely out of various types of Asian plant papers. It's been a highly experimental, time-consuming form of art and I have gone through many trials and errors to understand the physical nature of "plant" papers. I select a multitude of Asian papers for their weight and textures. This choice gives me the ability to 'feather' my birds: individually cut and applied feathers make each design unique. The sculptures are mounted on branches and stones I have collected from my nature explorations.
