NOTE
My bondline to My Husband bird is deep. A wovenness that runs like lifeblood through the story of my own survival, tracing the lines of my life. It is a narrative shaped by lived experience. As a child, I did in a very real way summon an energy like bird at a time when I didn't know if I would ever be okay. I had little idea of what I was shaping, It felt natural to me, as someone who lived in her imagination. Creating bird was simply another part of that intrinsic world. What I didn't know then was that bird would follow me into adulthood, becoming a kind of forged force, a presence that reflected where I stood in the slow, often painful process of understanding my worth. bird became a mirror, a way of measuring with the universe how far I had come in embodying myself.
I initially wrote My Husband bird as poetry, a 6 page letter addressed to bird. I woke the next morning and knew its fate was film. The vision was clear, the beat strong.
bird held me. My hope is that he holds others too.
