The falcon soars
The town’s gates are even higher

Angelica’s their doorkeeper
She’s wound the sun round her head
She’s tied the moon round her waist

She’s hung herself with stars.

Anon – Serbian

This poem has haunted me for sometime,possibly because of the visual lines…the meaning…I’ll leave to you;)

I wanted to give the image a slightly folk-art feel and tone, similar to the Mexican, South American statues and paintings of the Virgin Mary.

    To me this is one of the best works you’ve posted to date! It’s really, really exquisite. Beautiful strong composition and great colours. Very “Dali-esk” in composition – a bit like Dali’s Madonna, and executed with perfection.

    Okay… so how’d you get her to float? Every time I try that – just before I click the len – the model goes SPLUUUT! And squeals and we gotta redo the hair and the makeup and… I tried working faster but the damned bird wouldn’t cooperate for me and waiting till it gets into position is a bitch (I’ve stopped working with birds… the take direction poorly).

    So anywayzzz… Did she go SPLUUUT! right after you shot or do you start with her a lot higher and catch her in the act of SPLUUUT-ing down?

    Regardless, the technique reeeeely works… this thing ROCKS!
