Birds by KIKI SMITH (b. 1954, Germany)

Kiki Smith was raised Catholic and draws heavily on traditional bird symbolism. She uses birds—particularly doves, which represent peace, the Holy Ghost, and freedom—to examine spirituality and mortality.

She kept birds as a child for over a decade. This lifelong affection evolved into a desire to incorporate animals into her art to represent our shared instincts, movement, and vulnerability.

Her process is deeply tactile. She often creates bird reliefs and sculptures using materials like bronze, aluminum, and silver. She views the natural behavior of birds as its own form of environmental "technology"—using the things around them to flourish and build architecture.

Gertrude Stein said love thrives through "the skillful audacity to share an inner life."

It suggests that expressing the truth about who you are isn't something that amateurs do well.

Disciplined practice and ingenuity are required.

It also implies that courage is an essential element of successful intimacy. You may have to be adventurous if you want to weave your life together with another's.

In Buddhist terms, the conditioned, subjective mind is unable to comprehend its own inability to comprehend, although it is able to cultivate a sense of tolerance (ksanti) towards the incomprehensible. How does this tolerance operate? If I am uncertain about a concept or an experience, or if I become aware of a certain ambiguity in my own consciousness, I do not try to control that ambiguity by clasping on to a fleeting and fictitious sense of conviction or assurance, but try instead to observe that uncertainty with a sense of open-minded acceptance. There is no grasping involved in the practise of ksanti; as [John] Cage repeatedly reminds us, indeterminacy entails giving up personal intention and diminishing authorial control in favour of acknowledging a wider, less containable condition of experience.
