Story & Experience

Just the day before, on a walk and talk excursion with a friend, who’s busy writing a book on different worldview relating to building and architecture and moving forward, I showed him a piece of Land-art, another friend had laid out a while back, after the big flood last September, now
overgrown. Many people had built on that floodplain…

And digesting the whole experience, I felt called to go back next day to lay the bird, in honor of the magnificent resilience of nature.

Why this Place?

Stanford Western Cape SA

It’s been my home location for many years, observing the changes with compassion and pain❤️

Act of Beauty


I love birds. Their resilience and reliability and delicate features and feathers, their ability to fly and be everywhere and sing the day in and out.
It seems my calling, to bring beauty and joy to spaces in need, all my life, dedication to love.

The expansive changes in the landscapes, by wider roads, bigger bridges, more and more buildings, the speed of developments, seldom aligned with wildlife’s needs, disturb me. Going to do beauty in a wounded place, helps my soul. Thank you.
