SNOWY OWL Installation

Tales from around the world have kept the SNOWY OWL in a distinctive place in our global culture. Now more than ever it’s legend is relevant. With its rising wildlife status as ‘vulnerable’ I feel the urgency to uncover its significance, to relate human and animal relationships, and to revolve around Kerouac’s point of ‘illumination out of the dark’. Researching from various sources has lead me to consider the SNOWY OWL not only as a valuable species of earthly beauty, but also symbolically as a shapeshifter archetype, which stories reveal. This messenger is a being with piercing vision for the unseeable whose actions try to survive our delicate balancing act on this earth. I believe we all share ideal patterns of human nature, if we surrender for brief moments to our inner world. My inquiry has lead me to ask “What if you saw yourself standing between your physical form and that which is formless? What if you became a lens that is not dependent on everything you readily know? Perhaps then you would see your own lightness and darkness synchronizing as perfection. Perhaps we would see our ‘vulnerable’ selves implicated with all species who are unprotected. Perhaps we could recognize how we all need to endure the flight like white owl between moon and light. From Kerouac’s masterful honesty we can learn to trust that moments of clarity might be cloaked in doubt however reveal a second later with surprise, like Owl’s catch of a buried lemming. Psst...standing next to you here in draping white and black, you might have switched from unease and back to your normal. Fear not, I am your ally moving toward a greater good.
