Story & Experience
I created a bird up image standing (on its tail) against the mossy, lichen-covered bark of the pear tree.

Why this Place?
Bainbridge Island
This pear tree with whom I have developed a reciprocal relationship has been damaged by humans.
Act of Beauty
I spoke to the tree, thanking her for all of the experiences and communications we’ve shared over the past five years. I expressed my sorrow for the ways in which she’s been harmed. And I made a bird with fern frond wings, a braided grass body, and a bouquet of dandelions for her tail.
