reflections and questions on life, love and paradox

 Introduction and Contents In Honour of the Birdwoman in us all, 1997 [1]   Where is she now, this Birdwoman?   She is here.  In every woman who has dared to be different dared to risk dared to stand alone.   In women who have dared to question ask ‘why?’ In women who have dared to dream dared to fly too high.   In those women who have fallen been broken burned   And in those whose gentle spirits could not survive the realities of this world.     She is here. [1]   Performed in Fallen Totems, 1997.  Installation and masks, Irene Kindness.
