"The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown

~Maya Angelou
The inspiration for this piece came directly from my love of poetry. While pondering the words of Maya Angelou, I twisted bits of rusty wire into a cage. With sepia ink, botanical images were stamped onto the bird.
After a little distressing, the finch was finished. Shreds of sheet music, representing song, form his nest. This caged bird makes my heart sing.
Are you ever inspired by poetry?
