Chickens appear often in my work.  Born with wings, but rarely given the chance to fly, they represent deep, often unsatisfied longing, for that which cannot be --for paths not taken; for unrealized dreams; for unrequited love.

The title of this set in my 'flight' series is 'We get by with a little help from our friends,' and each work tells a different set of stories within that theme.

Each small work explores larger truths, concerning the ways that we, as people, depend upon one another, to get by --regardless of our age, station, or situation.
