How does real change begin?
You may have seen starlings, gathered together
in one place.
They are full of agitation, each bird
expressing itself individually.
Then, suddenly, they rise up and fly as one,
an agreed departure,
a movement like the breath, expanding out and in,
a murmuration of starlings.
Now we are a murmur of uncertainty.
We know we have lost our way.
What does it mean to be human?
Perhaps we are looking for the question
that will release us from the prisons we have created,
to fly as one, an agreed departure, a new direction.
murmurs of uncertainty
a deep persistent hum
the flutter of a thousand wings
summoning a question |
works which somehow reflect these words by

R.M. Vaughan wrote in Saturday’s Globe: “Chock full of spectral figures and haloed after-images, this sensual group show looks exactly the way late afternoons in January feel – haunted and striving to hold the light.”
