Bird-Owl is part of my ongoing Strange Creatures series, which will culminate in a 36-foot immersive installation this summer.
These hybrid beings inhabit a forest sanctuary where difference is not only accepted, but celebrated. Built from found glass, ceramics, fabric, glass beads, rhinestones, and mixed media, Bird-Owl is one of the inhabitants of this imagined refuge—a place beyond conformity, fear, and exclusion.
The series began in 2017 as a response to a culture increasingly shaped by division, othering, and manufactured fear. By transforming familiar kitsch objects into beautiful mutants, I explore how identity, belonging, and resilience can emerge from what society often rejects.
