Enclosed above please find a picture of : Cath's shadow box. Its noisy yes? There was an added challenge of taking elements from her life and incorporating them. I think, though slightly hidden i am totally pleased with the story of this box. And it is quite mythical and universally seeking. We can't all have such lauded fates. The girl in the green has undergone quite a lot of peril to see that the ship (in the center of the box) which is her soul, launches and makes it across to the empty bird nest (which is from my yard and from a grapefruit tree). The box itself lives in opposition. The left side is spiritually peaceful and at rest, there is a hidden archangel michael and the girl in the green that is on the rail is saint catherine, who was a mystic. 'They might be giants' lyrics are "birdhouse in your soul"... on the right side is jezebel worshipping her false god and you see the snake entwined upon the disembodied arm, as in the middle top eve desceneds safe in Gods hand... everything surrounding the green girl with the luscious red lips is hemming her in. IN the middle one might see the beads as the course of the universe surrounding the ship amongst much debris and noise and personal mementos- still the theme is the course of the soul as it moves from a point of chaos and evil to a point of good and peace. One may hope it is the course of anylife and of Cathys.

I loves. It's like this entire story in a box, which I realize is the point, but still. The details. I can't believe that's a real bird's nest.
