Crow’s Feet

‘Crow’s Feet’ explores the transformation of self-identity and self-perception while aging.  Examining the bonds formed through community, the 5-foot sculpture is inspired by a murder of crows and their circular flight patterns - sometimes viewed as threatening, but overall a display of union and transformation. With a ribbed surface resembling the pattern of a crow’s foot, the expression is also used to describe wrinkles that form around the outer corners of eyes; similarly sometimes perceived as negative, but a physical testament to years of smiling. The viewer is encouraged to reflect on the bonds that form their personality, recognizing that change is natural and appreciating the relationships that propelled their own identity forward.
