You can see these stories in pieces like She Was Foretold , where the tiny screech owl has come to deliver the dark news . These stories run through much of my work in the form of animals with human characteristics , masks of birds and other animals . I see these birds slipping back and forth and the moment I capture is that moment that they are at once both man and bird . Their eyes are heavy with the weight of the world as seen from an old woman .
