"Chief Roller" is a piece that I created for my exhibition, "The Escape Artist". I have always been fascinated with birds. They are like curious little jewels darting around the sky, defying gravity and ascribing a sense of wonder to those of us earthbound gravity followers. Every time I create a work of art, it comes from a world that takes the rules of our everyday existence and flips them upside down. I call this world "The Outside". "Chief Roller" is a portrait of a larger than life bird that you would meet upon entering "The Outside", where a bird as small as a sparrow in our world would be as large as a horse there, with eyes so big you get lost in them.
