I had done a few pieces where I had one side as Corten and the other as junk to contrast what was below the surface and what was visible. I decided to do that for a person( face) and also start to use a bin of nuts, bolts pins etc as the complex form hidden. As it all came together I was very pleased with the junk side but I wanted another element to make the piece more 3-D. The idea of birds representing ideas seemed appropriate and the piece has quite a few aspects I am very pleased with.
