vanessa german, White Bird, 2022

vanessa german

White Bird, 2022
street bird: hybrid creature of strength and beauty, like fast-talking street corner creatures with leather jackets, wood, grace, tar, shameless gender fluidity, oil pastels, Italian ceramic center piece as a crown, for how we love to talk about the flying Africans, love, earthling love songs, gold chains inspired by fast-talking street corner men, carved wood ashtray feet, a strong back, white so-flat, joy, Astro turf, how it feels to outlive children, gold leaf, a love song for the open sky, keep your chin up, liberty, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
69 1/2 x 24 x 58 1/2 inches
