Bird Series: Night Owl on the prowl
2007, Oil on board, 20” x 18”
Aci, aci buka pintu
Ana balik pukul satu
Ana takut burung hantu
Ana bawak tongkat semambu
English equivalent:
Knock, knock open the door
I’m back after the hour
I’m scared of the owl
All night long on the prowl

Last night I was awaken by a Woodpecker pecking, not at all a peck I had ever heard or expect. Their was no intention to make circular holes, this was some type of mythic morris-code. The Woodpecker message, worth more than gold, it ripped through my skin and healed my soul. Now, I feel compelled to tell you what I was told, of a world within this world, he went on to say, when birds fly in circles, it is nothing more than play, they have no concern of any quake or flood, under a full moon as red like blood, the Night Owls was given command of all the above, with silent flight, they bring day into the brilliant canvas of night. In this world even the Fireflies rest ashore knowing, mother-earth gracefully spins on axes, an she will provide all that we need, just ask her. A spirit world, unlike other worlds, in which the moon can eclipse the sun's beautiful ray's an reflect inner peace on the surface of an ocean filled with rage. In this land Hummingbirds tell stories to the skies, up through the branches an leaves, they posses the knowledge of the universe and the power of many sea's, thankfully their very modest, modest indeed, caged Hummingbirds will surely die, if not freed. Also, a very sad world for the Lonely Green Pigeon's, who agreed, many years ago, to herd all the world's pain, like a fateful sheep dog, guiding his flock through the driving rain. And so, the Woodpecker left just as quick as it came.
