Jungle Crows

In Japan, Jungle Crows make their nests out of coathangers, those familiar household things made of thin metal that support and display our appearances for the days and weeks to come -- waiting without a whisper in closets like the clouds that dress the sky. The crows construct their homes out of the placeholders of our daily roles. They steal the readiness of our costumes, leaving a pile of clothing in the wake of their theft --we must get down on our knees and dig through the wrinkles and creases, the slumped shoulders and folded knees, to find who we want to be; they sleep on a tangle of wires while we look for who we are.
