Robin Bird Returns
Commissioned - Belgium
Every spring Robin is one of the first to return from the long journey in the heavens.
Arriving home older and wiser, full of life and spirit, it’s as if they are heralds of the new season.
Still today, I love hearing them sing “I…See…You…’, in their sing-song voice.
My great uncle taught me their song when I was very young, and it was one of the first sounds I would hear when I went outside to start the day.
The hoops are carved out of the fan body, not attached, and represent the heavens around us.
