"For me, birds dance as they fly with one wing appearing as many. As my spirit is that of a bird, I personify myself in this form, soaring upward to great heights of being, strong and sure on the wing. Choosing the beautiful female kingfisher bird (Alcedo Atthis) seemed a fitting visual poem." - Carolyn Goodridge
