all on a string
how they float and flutter
400 white doves
“Life On A String”— 43x50”— Origami
Here’s a close-up view of the Origami piece in my earlier post No. 2039 now hanging in my bedroom. I love their gentle, silent motions, how all these birds sometimes softly stir, turn, and flutter on their long strings as I pass by. They make me think of an old movie I’ve seen a couple of times, “Life On a String,” a Chinese fable about an old blind musician, traveling the countryside with his young apprentice as he dreams of seeing once more before he dies. I wouldn’t mind seeing the movie again….it may be streaming on Netflix.
