- I started making these birdcages and other wire pieces when I realized I love the look of an abandoned circus or carnival but I also like the look of nature reclaiming some of these abandoned places and giving them new life. Traveling with my family to England this summer, we went to the seaside town of Brighton where they have a dilapidated pier that was destroyed in a fire. It looks like a giant wire birdcage, and in fact it is because many birds have made it their home so it has a second life as a bird sanctuary. Seeing that old pier and the carnival on the nearby "new" pier(at least 30 years old) was even more of an inspiration to create this artwork. I hope you enjoy it!

Yay! Best of show- Of course!Your booth looks amazing and seriously- 4 days of work? Your hands must have been a little sore.I bet they all loved it!
So wonderful to find your art through a link on crescendoh.com. I do love little wire sculptures. Would love to have been at your recent festival! Your booth is outstanding!
xo, Candylei
it was nice meeting you at jazz fest and seeing your wonderful work in person!
I can see why your booth won 'best of show'.Your space was just as stunning as your creations, though I think your son should have won "cutest of the show"
Thanks so much for your generous comments-I really appreciate them!

It looks like you've been busy having fun. And I'm not surprised that you made best of show - your work is truly one-of-a-kind.
I love my art piece I got from you in Round Top! Love your work.
Cheers Angela
