Tail Feathers
Welcome to my unwieldy collection of works of art, mostly; assembled by an artist/teacher que vive en Tejas.
“Whoever does not move among works of art as if among dangerous animals does not know among what he moves.” — Nicolás Gómez Dávila
The natural world is chaotic and unrelenting and randomly cruel. I know this from living in the brutally harsh desert, where the little deaths are constantly tugging at my heart.  In an attempt to compensate, I have collected up the dead and given them kindness and attention. I have constructed symmetrical shrines where they can have their memories and dreams in a kind of imaginary afterlife. Kate Breakey, Artist’s Statement, 2006
